Wolters Kluwer brought together institutions, businesses, and professionals in Milan to discuss tax reform, investment incentives, cooperative compliance and the impact of AI
Milan, 6 November 2026 – A simpler, more predictable tax system that supports investment and competitiveness, closer collaboration between taxpayers and the tax authorities, and more efficient tax processes through new technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) were central themes at Wolters Kluwer’s 15th Forum Fiscale. Organised by Wolters Kluwer Italia in Milan on 3 November 2026, the event brought together representatives of institutions, tax experts, professionals, managers and business advisors to discuss these priorities.
“The work of professionals is changing profoundly. At Wolters Kluwer, we want to help them turn this evolution into an opportunity by bringing together technological innovation, expertise and authoritative content,” said Giulietta Lemmi, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Italia.
Entitled “Tax, Business and Innovation – Competing through change: incentives, compliance and artificial intelligence”, the Forum was organised in collaboration with the Milan Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts (Ordine dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili di Milano) and under the patronage of the National Council of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts (Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti ed Esperti Contabili). It focused on four topics: tax reform and the 2027 Budget Law, investment incentives, cooperative compliance, and the use of AI in tax audits and compliance. At the heart of the debate was the need for greater regulatory certainty and innovative tools to support business competitiveness and the evolution of the professions.
Tax reform and the 2027 Budget Law
Speakers addressed the latest stages of the tax reform and the measures included or expected in the 2027 Budget Law. They stressed the importance of a stable and consistent regulatory framework that allows businesses and professionals to plan their activities and investments. Incentives for modernising production, digitalisation, and technology investment were also discussed.
Another focus was the evolution of cooperative compliance and the Tax Control Framework. These tools are designed to strengthen trust and transparency between the tax authorities and taxpayers, and to make the role of professionals increasingly strategic in preventing and managing tax risk.
AI: more efficiency, with humans in control
Speakers paid particular attention to the impact of AI on the tax professions. From data analysis to managing compliance and audits, new technologies can improve efficiency, reduce repetitive tasks, and allow professionals to focus on high value-added advisory work, while keeping human oversight at the core.
"The profession is changing fast, and the Forum Fiscale brings institutions, businesses and professionals together to shape that change. At Wolters Kluwer, our role is to back them with technology and deep sector knowledge, so they can turn regulation and AI into an advantage,” said Sergio Liscia, Vice President & General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Europe Region South.
