Abstract
In the current economic landscape, small businesses play a significant role in global economies, making it essential to understand the dynamics of tax optimization for sustaining economic growth. This study examines the intricate details of tax planning and optimization by utilizing digital twins, innovative technologies that replicate small business behaviors within a virtual environment. Digital twins emerge as a transformative technology in the landscape of small business tax optimization, offering unparalleled capabilities. They function as virtual duplicates of real-world small business entities, meticulously replicating their behaviors, operations, and interactions within a virtual space. By leveraging digital twins, small businesses gain access to a sophisticated platform for analyzing financial data and devising tax optimization strategies. These virtual replicas provide a dynamic and interactive representation of business processes, allowing for thorough exploration and experimentation without real-world constraints. We delve into the potential trade-offs inherent in small businesses' endeavors to minimize taxes and achieve broader fiscal objectives, emphasizing the importance of striking a delicate balance between taxpayer interests and considerations of public finance. Additionally, we explore the integration of smart contracts, self-executing contracts with predefined rules and conditions, into digital twin platforms using blockchain technology. These smart contracts can automate various aspects of tax compliance and optimization, such as calculating tax liabilities, managing deductions, and executing tax payments. The transparent and immutable nature of blockchain technology simplifies the auditing process for small businesses, facilitating compliance with tax regulations. Auditors can easily access and verify transaction records stored on the blockchain, streamlining the auditing process and reducing the likelihood of errors or discrepancies. In this paper, we introduce the innovative concept of integrating digital twins with blockchain technology to optimize small business operations, particularly in tax management. Through our exploration, we underscore the potential of this integration to revolutionize how small businesses handle financial transactions, track assets, and manage tax obligations.
