Developing reporting to tax authorities. Case: construction industry
Many companies nowadays have a common bottleneck: they are struggling with redundant paperwork and a lack of information. Companies in the construction industry are not an exception. Moreover, the construction industry is highly regulated, which leads to extensive reporting to the government. This research-oriented thesis aims to map the current situation in the construction industry in the wake of new supplementary reporting to tax authorities and to suggest potential solutions for a more effective approach to collecting the required data. The thesis was carried out by means of qualitative research. The research took place in southern Finland in 2013. It included interviews and observations in two construction companies based on a theoretical analysis of business process reengineering and mobile technologies. In the latter chapters of the thesis the current processes in the construction companies along with future developments in the case companies associated with the new requiremetns of the Finnish tax authorities can be found. The new requirements themselves are illustrated as a case background before data analysis and results. In this research, it became apparent that mobile technologies are not widely used in the construction sector. High costs and some legal issues were considered by respondents as the main reasons for not applying mobile solutions. Nevertheless, mobile scenarios were developed in order to show an alternative proposition in business process reengineering. Business process reengineering, however, was observed in one of the construction companies and was held to be successful by this company.
