Regulations
Business Context
Predictive models help revenue administrations identify taxpayers with a higher probability of future non-compliance. Although predictive analytics improve resource allocation, enforcement decisions must remain based on objective legal evidence rather than statistical probability alone.
Taxation TRIZ Resolution
Predictive analytics should prioritize case selection while all enforcement actions remain supported by verified evidence, legal procedures, and professional review. Statistical predictions should never replace formal investigation.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 1 – Segmentation: Separates predictive risk assessment from legal enforcement decisions.
Principle 24 – Intermediary: Introduces professional review between predictive models and enforcement actions.
Principle 23 – Feedback: Continuously measures predictive accuracy against actual compliance outcomes.
Expected Outcome
Better audit selection
Fair legal treatment
Higher analytical accuracy
Improved governance
Greater taxpayer confidence
Decision Indicators
Early indicators that this contradiction is limiting revenue administration include:
Predictive models generate high false positives.
Audit selection appears inconsistent.
Enforcement lacks supporting evidence.
Appeals increase.
Public confidence declines.
Monitoring these indicators helps authorities combine predictive analytics with equal legal treatment.
