Tax Management Global Market Report 2024

The tax management market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $20.89 billion in 2023 to $23.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including strong economic growth in emerging markets, an increase in disposable income, the growing complexity of tax codes, and the rise in digital financial transactions.

The tax management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $37.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. Forecasted growth is fueled by government support, urbanization, population increase, and the adoption of digital and cloud-based approaches. Key trends include investments in artificial intelligence, digital business solutions, innovative technologies, cloud-based tax return solutions for workflow improvement, and the development of client self-service platforms.

The growth of the tax management market has been greatly influenced by the escalating complexity of tax codes across various countries. Tax management is crucial in ensuring compliance with these intricate tax laws, demanding constant updates and a deep understanding of diverse provisions to ensure organizational adherence. The National Taxpayers Union Foundation's report highlighted the increasing burden of tax code complexity. In 2022, compliance with tax codes consumed an estimated 6.55 billion hours for tasks such as recordkeeping, learning about laws, filling forms, and submitting information to the IRS. The cost of compliance in 2022 amounted to $364 billion, marking a $25 billion increase (7.4%) from the previous year. Thus, the mounting complexity of tax codes is poised to fuel the demand for tax management products and services.

The adoption of cloud-based solutions is expected to be a driving force in the growth of the tax management market. Cloud services, facilitating the delivery of infrastructure and applications through the internet by third-party providers, offer substantial advantages. Cloud-based tax software reduces costs significantly by eliminating the need for businesses to invest in and maintain expensive hardware and software infrastructure. This economic benefit enables businesses to efficiently allocate resources and save money. According to Cloudwards, the global cloud computing market was valued at $371.4 billion in 2020, projected to surge to $832.1 billion by 2025. Hence, the increased adoption of cloud-based approaches is anticipated to be a significant driver for the tax management market in the forecast period.

Technological advancements stand out as a pivotal trend shaping the tax management market. Major players in tax management are directing their focus towards technological innovations, aiming to gain a competitive advantage in the industry. An illustrative instance is J.P. Morgan's recent introduction in May 2022 of the Tax-Smart Separately Managed Account (SMA) Platform. This platform empowers advisors to construct tailored portfolios, leveraging J.P. Morgan's investment expertise combined with 55ip's tax-smart technology, thereby facilitating higher after-tax returns for their clients.

Companies operating in the tax management sphere are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to fortify their market position. AI and analytics tools serve as instrumental resources for tax departments, enabling them to extract comprehensive insights from substantial volumes of data. These tools assist business leaders in identifying potential issues and capitalizing on emerging opportunities. By analyzing global compliance data, AI aids in forecasting trends, identifying irregularities, and mitigating global risks. For instance, Taxaroo, a forward-thinking tax technology firm based in the United States, launched ZeroTax.AI in March 2023, an AI-driven tax preparation service known as TaxGPT. This innovative platform simplifies tax processes for individuals and small business owners by instantly providing free solutions to their tax-related queries.
