Scope and Aim

Tax Law Technology is one of the most relevant and challenging topics in the global tax and trade (customs duties) environment in the 2020s. The increasing transformation of financial processes as well as the role of tax authorities, multinational enterprises and tax advisors in the global economy have boosted the relevance of tax law technology towards a new level of execution. Currently it is these players, supported by the OECD ideas, who interact on this transformation journey. There is, however, an emerging need for the contribution of academia to the topic, in order to facilitate the link between achievable pragmatic solutions, theoretical principles and the right level of execution of tax-related technologies. It is with this goal in mind that the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law established the WU Tax Law Technology Center in 2022.

This hands-on event is designed for professionals and researchers eager to explore innovative AI solutions for automating tax-related processes and enhancing public finance workflows. Throughout the hackathon, you will collaborate in teams to design and build Large Language Model (LLM) agents that address real-world challenges such as transfer pricing, VAT compliance, and tax law interpretation.
