DIY or Done-for-You? Rethinking Tax Compliance Strategy in SAPHow Tax Compliance Is Changing in SAP
Tax compliance in SAP is no longer just an IT decision. It’s a strategic risk decision.
As governments shift to real-time, transaction-level enforcement, SAP customers are being forced to rethink how tax compliance fits into their S/4HANA, Clean Core, and data governance strategies.
Many organizations are evaluating ERP-native approaches, while others are expanding their capabilities to account for authority-led, end-to-end compliance models designed to keep pace with continuous mandates. Each path comes with tradeoffs in cost, risk, scalability, and long-term agility.
In this session, Sovos tax and SAP experts explore how SAP customers should think about this decision, not from a product perspective, but from an enterprise architecture, risk, and operating model standpoint.
You’ll learn:
- Why tax compliance is shifting from an internal ERP function to an externally enforced, authority-led model
- What SAP customers should consider when using ERP-native tools for digital reporting and mandates, and what capabilities to enhance and complement those tools
- The hidden complexity behind e-invoicing, SAF-T, and continuous transaction controls
- How Clean Core principles intersect with tax data, controls, and audit exposure
- Key questions IT, Finance, and Tax leaders should be asking before choosing a compliance path
- How today’s compliance decisions can impact transformation risk for years to come
This session is designed for IT and ERP leaders, Finance and Tax executives, SAP CoE and Clean Core program owners, and enterprise architects responsible for compliance strategy, and is especially relevant for organizations preparing for the 2026–2027 regulatory expansion or actively navigating an S/4HANA
