How does Effective Tax Rate Modelling work?
ETR Analyser can provide a view of cash tax and ETR at the country level, entity level, activity level, and even product level. This more granular view bridges the commercial view to a detailed tax view. This granular ETR modelling allows you to understand an organisation’s value chain to drive effective tax reform planning and operating model transformations.

Leverages data obtained e.g. forecasts, understanding of the operating model and existing tax attributes
Compares multiple scenarios to assist in determining an optimised operating model
