Regulations
Business Context
Artificial intelligence enables revenue administrations to prioritize audits, detect fraud, and identify compliance risks with greater speed and accuracy than traditional methods. However, enforcement decisions that directly affect taxpayers must remain transparent, legally justified, and subject to appropriate human oversight.
Taxation TRIZ Resolution
AI should support enforcement by identifying risks and recommending actions, while qualified officials remain responsible for reviewing evidence, exercising professional judgment, and approving significant enforcement decisions before implementation.
Applicable TRIZ Principles
Principle 24 – Intermediary: Positions AI as a decision-support tool while preserving human responsibility for enforcement actions.
Principle 23 – Feedback: Continuously evaluates AI recommendations against investigation outcomes to improve reliability.
Principle 25 – Self-Service: Automates repetitive analytical work so specialists can focus on legal and technical evaluation.
Expected Outcome
Better enforcement decisions
Greater regulatory transparency
Improved analytical accuracy
Stronger governance
Higher public confidence
