Tax offices select tax cases for review on a risk basis

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsFinding anomalies & fraudPublic administration

Fits: Finance & accounting

Case officers and tax auditors concentrate on returns where a detailed review is likely to pay off. Unremarkable cases are processed faster, and the selection remains consistent and traceable.

Is this for you?

  • You work in a tax administration or in a project that develops risk management for assessment or tax audits.
  • Return data, previous-year figures and results of earlier audits are available electronically.
  • The specialist department, IT and data protection can jointly carry a project lasting several years.
First step today

Create six fictitious tax cases as a table, e.g. rental income with rents, income-related expenses and previous-year figures. Have them sorted by review flags with the template below and check whether every reason makes sense to a case officer.

How to go about it

  1. Define risk characteristics based on tax expertise
  2. Bring together return, previous-year and audit data
  3. Set up rules and a selection model in risk management
  4. Have selected cases reviewed by officials
  5. Define the type of review and the consequences
  6. Adjust the selection model based on audit results
