This article examines how enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are deployed to enhance the efficiency of corporate tax accounting and tax-liability management. Its relevance stems from the growing complexity of tax regulations and the pressing need to automate related processes. We synthesize both empirical and analytical evidence on ERP functionality in the tax domain, covering automated calculation, compliance monitoring, report generation, and tax-planning support. The review includes recent studies reporting shifts in tax-risk levels, reductions in compliance costs, and the evolving role of in-house tax departments. We pay special attention to the implementation risks associated with ERP roll-outs and the ethical boundaries of leveraging advanced analytics. The aim is to identify the enduring impacts of integrating ERP into tax-accounting workflows. Employing comparative and systems-based methodologies alongside case-study and literature analysis, we conclude by underscoring ERP’s significance as a tool for strengthening compliance, transparency, and governance in corporate taxation. Practitioners in corporate finance, systems integrators, and tax-planning specialists will find the insights particularly valuable.
