Challenges
Hard problems we solve
Problem 1 of 5
Many invoice formats
The same fields appear in different layouts and formats across issuers.
Problem 2 of 5
One record per taxpayer
Identifiers and names vary between sources and must be linked to a single taxpayer record.
Problem 3 of 5
Reconciling invoices, returns, and books
Differences between sources must be found and shown for an officer to review.
Problem 4 of 5
Security, permissions, and audit logs
Taxpayer data is sensitive, so role-based access and a verifiable log are part of the requirement.
Problem 5 of 5
Evidence for every value
Each extracted value must trace back to its source document and processing history.
Target outputs
One return, turned into data band by band.
The paper return
Handwritten, corrected, stamped
Periodic returns and schedules, electronic or paper.

Chapters
Start with one representative dataset
Pick a representative set of invoices, returns, and taxpayer files. Agree on the record format, the taxpayer identifiers, the key fields, the rules for missing or conflicting values, and how the results will be accepted. Measure the results on that set before scaling up.
Survey the sources
Identify existing invoice, return, and record types with their formats and where they are kept.
Standardize the records
Agree on the record format, the taxpayer identifiers, and the checks for each field.
Extract and reconcile
Extract fields from invoices and returns, reconcile across sources, and flag differences.
Accept and archive
Measure accuracy on a checked sample set, then load into an archive with access by role.
Designed for tax records that must agree across sources and trace back to their documents. Full production starts only after the representative set is accepted.
