DataPlatform simplifies tax returns by verifying and matching data, as well as identifying individuals.
This allows the Dutch Tax Office, Belastingdienst, to accurately pre-fill millions of returns.
For over two centuries, the Dutch tax office Belastingdienst has been a pillar of the Netherlands' financial well-being. Their commitment to collecting and levying state taxes and contributions fairly and precisely ensures that funds are available for vital services such as healthcare, education, and public transport.
A key aspect of Belastingdienst's operations is processing millions of returns annually, a complex task that involves linking vast amounts of data from multiple sources to records. To streamline this process and ensure accurate matching of external information with internal data, Belastingdienst has adopted Human Inference's DataPlatform software solution.
Dive into the details and discover how DataPlatform revolutionizes tax processing for Belastingdienst.
DataPlatform is an all-in-one data quality solution that uses natural language processing and fuzzy logic to improve contact information accuracy. It corrects contact data by identifying and correcting errors and matching similar records. This leaves only precise, unique, and correct relation data. As a result, organizations can operate more efficiently, and customers are more satisfied.
Efficient handling and processing of returns starts with using the correct data.
Belastingdienst maintains an extensive database of data on taxpayers, including citizens and businesses. As this information often changes due to relocations or divorces, regular data updates are crucial.
The advanced DataPlatform software compares information from different sources. It matches, checks, and validates data and selects the right person. It ensures up-to-date records and guaranteed data quality. This works as follows:
Belastingdienst receives a diverse range of data from taxpayers through various bodies, such as salary data from employers and bank data from banks. All this information, in its varied formats, needs to be matched, verified, and validated.
Belastingdienst uses Data Platform for the identification and verification process.
The software compares personal data from different sources, such as the employer's and the bank's, to verify individuals' identities. This is done through a matching engine that compares information fault-tolerantly and identifies the individual. DataPlatform also verifies the citizen service number (BSN) by comparing it fault-tolerantly with the supplied personal data.
Once a year, during the tax return season, the Belastingdienst receives a large amount of personal information from various agencies. DataPlatform assists in matching, checking, and validating data with existing information. This is crucial for the Belastingdienst to gain a comprehensive understanding of each taxpayer in the system and to accurately complete and prepare returns in advance. This may not make filing returns more fun, but it does make them easier.
The Belastingdienst wants to provide everyone with a smooth and honest tax experience. DataPlatform helps them achieve that goal by verifying information and identifying individuals. In doing so, they improve every pre-completed return and process the millions of returns efficiently and correctly.
A visual summary of this complete process:

The software identifies and verifies all data, ensuring the Belastingdienst always has accurate taxpayer information for correct tax returns.
