Global and local tax knowledge
One design. The local detail that makes it work.
A global framework gives teams a consistent starting point. Country-specific knowledge explains where that framework needs a particular interpretation, condition, exception or control.
- Source
- Interpretation
- Requirement
- Control
- Business decision
Two levels
Knowledge applied in context.
The experience can answer quickly from approved global design and reach into relevant local interpretation and legislation when the question requires more detail.

Global Tax Design
The organisation-wide framework.
This level holds global tax policies, approved design principles, common positions, shared requirements, enterprise controls and common data and evidence needs.
A consistent starting point for every country and every team.
Country knowledge
Make local obligations visible.
Each country area can hold local legislation, interpretation, tax conditions, exceptions, reporting, evidence, processes and controls.
Relationships matter
The model distinguishes where a requirement belongs and how it connects to the wider design.
- Requirements that apply only globally
- Requirements specific to one country
- Local requirements shared by several countries
- Local knowledge incorporated into global design
- Questions requiring deeper local source detail
The business result
A relevant answer without losing the source.
Teams can understand the approved global position, the country condition that changes the answer, and the supporting requirement or source that needs review.
