“AI represents an opportunity to amplify what differentiates us most: our people, experience and trusted client relationships,” said Chris Puglia, chief products officer, Deloitte Tax LLP. “By leveraging AI, we can scale with our clients, generate deeper insights and give our professionals more capacity to interpret results, challenge assumptions and make decisions. These awards reinforce the progress we’re making toward a human-led, AI-powered future.”
Deloitte’s commitment to advancing the future of tax continues to earn industry recognition, reflecting the strength of its innovative solutions and technology-enabled approach to transformation. Among the work Deloitte submitted to ITR this year, notable highlights include:
- Enhancing the user experience with an AI-powered digital assistant: Deloitte’s award-winning Intela™ tax platform now features the Intela Digital Assistant (IDA), an advanced AI-powered assistant that simplifies how users interact with large amounts of tax data. IDA helps tax professionals quickly find information, execute common tasks and surface critical insights across the entire tax ecosystem. This innovation streamlines workflows and empowers users to redirect their time from platform navigation to strategic tax planning and analysis.
- Accelerating R&D tax credit documentation with GenAI: Deloitte has introduced Tech Writer, an innovative application that embeds agentic AI to assist in the creation of R&D tax credit documentation. Tech Writer streamlines the process by converting interview notes and technical documents into a structured draft report aligned with tax code requirements. By automating key parts of the drafting and review cycle, Tech Writer significantly reduces documentation time, accelerates delivery and allows tax professionals to focus on higher-value strategic activities.
- Transforming indirect tax compliance through intelligent automation: Deloitte has deployed a suite of advanced AI agents to help automate and streamline the indirect tax function, tackling the complexities of sales and use tax, VAT and more. These agents intelligently review transactions, validate data against documents, identify anomalies and recommend corrections, moving the compliance process from a manual effort to a connected, intelligent workflow. This application of agentic AI enables significant efficiencies, helps mitigate risk and provides greater accuracy and real-time visibility into indirect tax obligations.
- Modernizing global mobility with a next-generation platform: Deloitte has reimagined its GlobalAdvantage (GA) platform into a cloud-native, AI-enabled solution designed for global mobility. This next-generation platform integrates tax, compensation, equity and immigration services into a single, scalable ecosystem empowered by an AI-driven data strategy. By modernizing its architecture, the new GlobalAdvantage platform offers real-time analytics and powerful workflow automation to effectively manage the complexities of a global workforce.
The 2026 ITR Americas Tax Awards recognize work executed between January 2025 and January 2026 that introduced new approaches to the tax industry.
