The increasing complexity of tax regulations is expected to drive the growth of the tax tech market. This complexity refers to the intricate and ever-changing tax laws, rules, and reporting requirements that differ across jurisdictions, making compliance a significant challenge for businesses. The rise in regulatory complexity is largely due to the globalization of business operations, which necessitates adherence to multiple, and sometimes conflicting, tax laws in different countries. Tax tech solutions assist in managing these complexities by automating compliance processes, allowing businesses to more easily adapt to evolving regulations. These technologies reduce manual workloads by streamlining data entry and reporting, thereby improving accuracy and operational efficiency. For example, in April 2025, the UK Government reported that between 2022 and 2024, a total of 240 tax policy changes were introduced. These changes are projected to cost His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) approximately $1.12 billion (£875 million) and impose around $1.22 billion (£913 million) in compliance costs on businesses over the coming years. As a result, the growing complexity of tax regulations is contributing to the expansion of the tax tech market.

Companies in the tax tech market are focusing on the development of advanced tools such as AI-powered anomaly detection systems to increase efficiency, improve accuracy, and reduce manual input in tax auditing processes. These systems use intelligent algorithms to automatically detect discrepancies or irregularities in tax data, helping streamline compliance and minimize errors. For instance, in November 2023, Thomson Reuters, a Canada-based information services provider, introduced new AI and automation features across its tax product suite. These enhancements include automated anomaly detection tools for audits, which utilize AI to identify inconsistencies in financial data, thus increasing audit accuracy and reducing reliance on manual reviews. This functionality is aimed at streamlining data analysis, lowering risk, and ensuring better compliance.

In January 2025, Thomson Reuters Corporation, a Canada-based content and technology company, acquired cPaperless, LLC for $0.60 billion. With this acquisition, Thomson Reuters seeks to strengthen its tax workflow automation offerings by incorporating SafeSend’s cloud-native solutions that simplify tax return assembly, review, e-signature, and delivery workflows. cPaperless, LLC is a US-based tax technology company that delivers automated software solutions widely adopted by accounting firms nationwide, including approximately 70% of the top 500 firms.
