- Tax Administrations (TAs) are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, with over 54% of TAs utilizing AI and machine learning in their operations, as highlighted in the OECD’s “Tax Administration 2023” report, which provides insights into global tax administration trends.
- In Brazil, the Federal Treasury has implemented an AI-based platform as part of its Analytics Project, improving the detection of tax fraud and illegal activities through advanced data analysis, including identifying suspicious patterns in importation, cryptocurrency transactions, and refund requests.
- The platform has successfully uncovered significant tax evasion schemes, including a R$ 700 million operation involving shell companies and cryptocurrencies, and has facilitated voluntary compliance by helping taxpayers correct inaccuracies in their income statements, demonstrating the effectiveness of AI in modern tax administration.
