Soundcheck -  AI in Indirect Tax & the Tax engine business case

Vertex and PwC Netherlands invite you to an in‑person round table focused on the practical use of AI in indirect tax and the strategic decision of how to automate indirect tax determination, using native ERP tax logic or implementing a dedicated tax engine.

Round Table event with PwC NL & Vertex

Date: Wednesday, June 3, 2026
Time: 14:00-17:00 + Optional drinks and dinner


AI is rapidly finding its way into indirect tax processes, from data preparation and classification to anomaly detection, insight generation and decision support. At the same time, tax teams are facing broader strategic questions that go beyond AI alone and into the foundation of their indirect tax operating model. Vertex and PwC Netherlands invite you to an in‑person round table focused on the practical use of AI in indirect tax and the strategic decision of how to automate indirect tax determination, using native ERP tax logic or implementing a dedicated tax engine.

This session is designed for senior tax and finance leaders who want to move beyond experimentation and gain clarity on:

  • where AI genuinely adds value in indirect tax,
  • where caution, governance, and human oversight remain essential, and
  • how to make a deliberate, well‑informed decision on the right solution for indirect tax determination.

 

This round table creates space for a balanced, experience-driven discussion on these questions. It will be a peer discussion, not a sales session. It brings together advisory, technology, and customer perspectives to help participants move from experimentation to deliberate, informed decision-making, both on the use of AI and on the broader design choices for indirect tax determination. Participation is limited to ensure an open, focused, and experience‑driven exchange.
