Digital twins on local taxation management

Abstract

The main local taxes are based on spatial information. That’s why the vision of an innovative tax management model must be based on technologies that make territorial analysis as easy as possible. Across a digital twin, we can have a powerful tax management tool that uses data, algorithms, sensors, images, maps and other resources that facilitate the diagnosis and understanding of what is happening, optimize the result of the linked resources to municipal revenues, and allow simulating and evaluating the implementation of transformative tax policies. Currently, the Tax Agency of Madrid City Council (ATM) is involved in a deep transformation process, which includes the implementation of a new form of management of available technologies. In this context, and hand in hand with the Digital Twin project that those responsible for the Geoportal of the city of Madrid are developing, work is being done on the design of a digital twin that supports this transformation, thereby facilitating not only adequate coverage of the economic resources that the City Council needs, but also a model that simplifies as much as possible the taxpayers' compliance with their tax obligations.
