SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TAX COLLECTION, ANALYSIS AND COMPLIANCE

摘要

A tax matching and identification system are disclosed. The system may receive tax information from one or more sources, combine all or some of the information into a single form, and apply various software processes to calculate a weighted average. The average is then compared to a threshold to determine whether a person or entity is in tax compliance.

1. A method comprising:
receiving electronically first tax information including at least one tax identification number (TIN) and first address information associated with the TIN; applying automatically a first address standardization process to the first tax information, including applying automatically one or more parsing algorithms to determine if the first address information is valid and in a first format; receiving electronically business registration information and second tax information including second address information and automatically applying a set-based algorithm to combine the second tax information into a single form; applying automatically a name and a second address standardization process to the combined second tax information, including automatically applying one or more parsing algorithms to determine if second address information is valid and in a second format; applying automatically a matching process, including: applying automatically a fixed length matching algorithm to determine a TIN match; determining automatically an exact match between the first and second addresses; and applying automatically a bigram algorithm to determine a business name match; calculating automatically a weighted average of the TIN match, the exact match, and the business name match; and determining automatically if the weighted average is above a threshold.
