Indirect Tax Transformation – ERP L1, L2

• Our high-profile Indirect Tax Transformation team, based primarily within our London office in the UK focuses on assisting clients with technology and transformation programmes including the implementation of ERP systems, 3rd party indirect tax determination, e-invoicing and compliance tools and Tax engines. We seek to help clients get the most out of these systems from an indirect tax perspective.

Typically, we would be supporting clients in extracting more value from an existing instance of their ERP or optimising the tax set-up as a client implements or upgrades to a new instance of an ERP.
