Tax departments have faced more significant challenges in the last three years. Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and planning for major cash repatriation under the American Jobs Creation Act severely stressed in-house tax resources. Given e-Filing and FIN 48, teamed with an international shortage of experienced tax talent, drains any remaining energy. Tax departments understand why more value-added tax planning isn’t getting done.

Companies have recognized that the increased costs of tax compliance are better than the pitfalls of poor tax management. Tax departments with resources available for planning can contribute to adding value.
