From information retrieval to applied intelligence in indirect tax

Corporate tax teams need more than fast answers—they need complete, defensible analysis they can act on immediately. CoCounsel Tax delivers this through a fundamentally different approach than generic AI tools.

Public large language models generate responses from broad internet training data, often producing outdated information or “hallucinations” that create compliance risk. CoCounsel Tax uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which means every response is grounded in Checkpoint’s continuously updated, expert-authored tax guidance.

CoCounsel Tax then applies this authoritative guidance directly to your specific situation. Upload your entity agreements, intercompany transaction details, or state nexus documentation, and CoCounsel Tax analyzes how the law applies to your actual fact pattern, not just generic scenarios. The result is analysis tailored to your business structure, complete with the specific citations and reasoning your team needs for documentation and decision-making.

Solving the document analysis bottleneck in indirect tax processes

Large-scale document review represents one of the most persistent inefficiencies in indirect tax operations. When teams spend days manually extracting taxability implications from vendor contracts and transaction documents across multiple jurisdictions, the interpretation burden falls disproportionately on senior staff.

AI-driven technology transforms that process by performing large-scale document analysis that efficiently processes high volumes of information. A junior or mid-level professional can upload the documents, and receive taxability analysis across relevant jurisdictions, exposure highlights, and specific citations.

What used to take days of slogging through paperwork now takes minutes, all while keeping that crucial audit trail intact, and leaving the more strategic and value-added work to senior staff.

Amplify your tax advisor relationships

By equipping your team with expert‑level analysis, memo drafting, and strategic guidance capabilities, advisory meetings become more efficient, cost-effective, and impactful. Your expert advisors help you focus their expertise on strategy that elevates the value of your department and provides greater job satisfaction for everyone.
