Tax Authorities

The reliable database for business valuations in tax administration

Tax authorities face the challenging task of critically examining submitted business valuations. The key challenge: Submitted valuations are often designed to minimize tax liability. The consequences of inadequate review are far-reaching:

Undetected undervaluations result in significant tax revenue losses for public authorities

Commissioning external counter-opinions is costly and time-consuming

Lengthy discussions with taxpayers tie up valuable resources

Traditional approaches using external experts or time-consuming in-house research have reached their limits. These methods are either expensive or significantly delay the review process. Moreover, manual research often lacks traceable data sources, which can become problematic in case of disputes.

The selection of the peer group, which is usually very time-consuming, really works very quickly and reliably. The transfer to Excel is very user-friendly. I'm really excited about this tool.
