Deciding What to Do with AI Is a Tax Skill, Not a Technology One
First published on LinkedIn, 23 July 2026.
“We don’t know where to start.” A head of tax said it to me over coffee last month, and I’ve heard versions of it all year. The reasons that follow vary: no budget, no time, no spare people, no clear picture of what the technology can actually do, and no idea how to get the board to care.

- Managing Risks (Impact assessment, Risk assessment, Data management, Bias mitigation, Data protection)
- Communication (Issue reporting, Third party communication)
As organizations increasingly adopt AI systems, proper governance and management frameworks become critical. The self-assessment questionnaire from DSIT offers an excellent starting points for organisations to conisder what Ai management framework would be most suitable for their specific scenario.

Response to HMRC's Consultation on The Tax Administration Framework Review: Creating Innovative Change Through New Legislative Pilots
I responded to HMRC’s open consultation on The Tax Administration Framework Review: Creating Innovative Change Through New Legislative Pilots" from HMRC published on 27 April 2023. With my background as a tax professional, having gained experience in both practice and corporate settings, I have been privileged to observe the transformation of the tax landscape firsthand. The sweeping changes brought on by digitalisation and innovation in the way businesses operate have affirmed that modernising our tax systems is not merely desirable; it is imperative. As tax systems become more complex, we must embrace innovative solutions and a modern, flexible approach to make tax administration more efficient and user-friendly.

Machine Learning Governance in Tax
Many areas of tax incorporated machine learning, but it is not a silver bullet. What are the potential risks of adopting a machine learning approach to replace manual efforts, and how could we mitigate such risks? This blog post discusses some governance measures I put in place to address these questions.
Common applications
