Ask any stunt double who has jumped off a moving train onto a platform and he will tell you the only way to avoid a fall is to run as fast when your feet hits the ground. Tax teams of companies today are witnessing change all around them at a pace faster than even before –both in their internal and external environments. Physics would predict a tumble if tax teams do not run as fast. To add to the need for speed, tax has now become a board room agenda and the role of tax teams is moving away from 'just complying' to 'value delivery' and being 'business partners'. Changes in the external environment are also constant and quick. Legislations are evolving every day and it takes a specialist to keep up – the sun is slowly setting on the generalist.
