Geopolitical Fragmentation: The New Trade-War Balance-Sheet Risk of 2026

February 16, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary In 2026, geopolitical fragmentation is no longer a “news risk” — it is a measurable financial risk. Tariffs, export controls, sanctions, shipping disruptions, and sudden regulatory divergence can reprice inventory, impair contracts, delay cash collections, and force costly supplier reconfiguration. The most exposed businesses are those with single-country sourcing, thin working capital buffers,...

Automating the Taxpayer Lifecycle: e-Registration, e-Deregistration, and the “Compliance Dividend” for Caribbean Economies

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Tax administrations are increasingly judged not only by how much revenue they collect, but by how frictionless, fair, and data-driven their systems are. One of the most practical—and often overlooked—levers for transformation is automating the taxpayer lifecycle: how people and businesses enter the tax net (registration), how they stay current (changes, filings, payments,...

Machine-Readable Tax Law: Turning Legislation into Code Without Breaking Certainty, Fairness, or Due Process

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Tax systems are being pushed—by digitisation, APIs, and real-time reporting—toward a new operating model: compliance embedded in software. But there is a fundamental constraint: software cannot reliably apply tax rules unless those rules are expressed in a way that is consistent, testable, and unambiguous. This is the promise—and the controversy—of machine-readable tax law:...

Once-Only Data and Joined-Up Government: Why Tax Administrations Become a National Data Utility—and What the Caribbean Must Do Next

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Modern tax administrations are no longer just collectors of returns; they are increasingly becoming data utilities—institutions that ingest, reconcile, and operationalise high-value data across the economy to deliver better compliance, better service, and better policy outcomes. A defining feature of this shift is the move toward once-only data and joined-up government: taxpayers...

Return Prefilling for VAT and Income Tax: Global Adoption, Data Dependencies, and Practical Caribbean Pathways

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Return prefilling is one of the clearest signals that tax administration is moving from “post-event reporting” to data-driven compliance. Historically, prefilling was most common in personal income tax (PIT) where employers and financial institutions supplied third-party data. What’s changing globally is scope and ambition: prefilling is increasingly being extended—where data ecosystems permit—into VAT...

APIs, Accounting Software, and “Natural Systems”: How Tax Is Moving Into Business Workflows—and What the Caribbean Must Do Next

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Tax compliance is shifting from a periodic, manual activity—prepared after transactions happen—to an increasingly embedded and connected model where reporting, withholding, validation, and payments occur inside the “natural systems” of the economy: payroll platforms, accounting software, invoicing tools, banking rails, and digital marketplaces. The OECD’s 2025 report on tax administration digitalisation highlights API...

Digital Identity and Trust: The New Front Door to Tax Compliance—and the Caribbean Readiness Gap

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Digital identity is quickly becoming the core infrastructure of modern tax administration. When tax authorities can reliably verify who is transacting, filing, authorising, and paying—across individuals, businesses, and agents—they unlock the capabilities that define Tax Administration 3.0: secure self-service at scale, streamlined compliance, API-enabled integrations, richer third-party data sharing, and faster fraud detection....
