Biography
Benita is an ACCA and ACGP Affiliate from PwC Academy. She holds an MSc in Accounting and Taxation from the University of Exeter and a BSc in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University. Her PhD project at the University of Surrey proposes solutions for international tax policy reform by rethinking the role of digitalization in aggressive corporate tax avoidance. Her research interests lie at the intersection of AI, digital business models, tax policy, e-administration and compliance.
While AI tools empower tax administration it is important to keep in mind its benefits and impacts on taxpayers and our society. It can even influence attitudes towards tax compliance. Benita’s AI and tax projects are centered on the interests of Small and Medium Enterprises, digital innovations, and cross-jurisdictional tax co-operation. The increased reliance on technology to resolve tax policy challenges calls for a re-evaluation of tax frameworks in our society. This period of transformation provides the opportunity to re-align interests across members in our society towards an inclusive tax system for tomorrow.
