"The tax system of the future will no longer rely solely on a retrospective approach and will instead be based on real-time data analytics, artificial intelligence, and risk-based models," said Orkhan Nazarli, the Head of the State Tax Service, during his speech at the forum titled “A Look into the Future of the Tax System: A New Management Model and Data-Based Decisions,” APA-Economics reports.

He noted that increasing attention to artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as well as providing services through unified platforms, is among the strategic tasks in public administration.

According to Nazarli, tax administration is also an integral part of this transformation process. Real-time data analytics, risk-based control models, data governance frameworks, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning, allow decisions to be made based on facts rather than intuition.

The head of the State Tax Service noted that this approach creates a more predictable, transparent, and fair environment for both the state and taxpayers.

He added that digital solutions will not only improve tax administration but will also make processes simpler and more accessible for citizens.
