Creating tomorrow: Technology and fiscal management remain allied
he arrival of the vaccine in Mexico gives hope for a more active economic recovery and the beginning of the new normality. However, we must expect some changes from the life we were used to in the period that preceded COVID-19 , since technology significantly influenced all sectors and modified some habits that we will hardly return to in the same way as they were before. .
How do you imagine the new normality in the tax sector? What will be the changes that remain? What will be as it was before? Will there be important changes in fiscal management? Many questions that generate expectation and that we will answer based on the data we have so far. Can you come with us?
Creating tomorrow: The economic recovery in Mexico
Until February 6, 2021, 713,517 doses of the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 were applied, indicating progress in the fight against the disease. In this way, the return to work activities and social life is something that is getting closer, however, it is something that will happen little by little and will probably never return to the way it was before.
Although this may sound negative, contrary to what many people think, the pandemic has provided us with something positive, allowing us to accelerate our technological development in all sectors.
This same technology is what will also facilitate economic recovery and not only that, but will also continue to contribute to fiscal management for a long time.
The tax sector has a great challenge ahead. In addition to the 2021 tax reform and all that it implies, we must be prepared for a much stricter control in which errors will not go unpunished, for which the responsibility of the sector increases even more.
Against this background, we can deduce the trends of the tax sector in 2021.
The home office and its permanence in the day-to-day work
We have all been able to try the benefits of the home office , although it took a little more for some to adapt, after a while they were able to enjoy its privileges.
By avoiding the trip to the office, workers have been able to make better use of their time, reduce stress levels caused by traffic, save on travel expenses and also contribute to the environment, also avoiding all kinds of risks that work can entail. daily commute to work.
On the other hand, employers have noticed significant savings in the cost of maintaining their physical space, more productivity and worker collaboration, since most do not want to lose this type of work, and a decrease in absenteeism.
In this way, the trend is for the home office to continue, either partially or fully.
Technology as a means for optimization
Although technology is what has allowed many organizations to survive during social isolation, we cannot limit its benefits to just this.
Companies that have incorporated technology out of necessity during the pandemic, and thus continue to operate remotely, have realized that their benefits exceed expectations and have made every dollar invested worth it.
This is due to the fact that the productive capacity of a professional, or of an office, clearly increases when there is adequate tax management software. And in addition to optimizing time, it minimizes the inevitable human errors that are so dangerous in tax work .
For this reason, technology will continue to be increasingly present in tax routines , because the benefits it provides contribute to delivering a higher quality job.
We see a clear example in cloud technology , which made remote work possible for thousands of Mexican companies, since all the information of an organization can be stored in the cloud and accessed from anywhere. A safe alternative so that a business can continue active regardless of where the workers are.
And speaking of security, another of the trends that will continue to be present in the economic recovery is cybersecurity , even stronger than ever. This is because we have seen how improvisation when implementing solutions can leave any business vulnerable, therefore investing in security is essential.
Having reliable and complete technological solutions that consider cybersecurity as a priority is essential in order to be prepared for a new normal, come how it comes.
In short, we have seen in practice how technology has contributed to tax management in all its instances , so the trend is for more and more companies to use this resource to optimize the sector.
