Taxmann, India’s leading publisher of tax and legal content, has partnered with EY India to launch Taxmann.AI, an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to assist tax and legal professionals with research, document analysis, and drafting.
The platform, unveiled on July 18, 2025, marks a significant step in digitizing India’s complex tax ecosystem and aims to improve speed, accuracy, and decision-making for professionals navigating regulatory frameworks.
A Purpose-Built Platform for India’s Tax Landscape
Unlike generic AI tools, Taxmann.AI is tailored specifically for India’s tax and legal environment.
It draws from Taxmann’s extensive repository of statutory material, case law, circulars, and expert commentaries curated over six decades.
EY India has contributed its technology infrastructure and domain expertise to build a platform that understands the nuances of Indian tax law and delivers structured, verifiable responses.
According to Rakesh Bhargava, Managing Director of Taxmann, the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to empowering professionals with tools that enhance both efficiency and accuracy.
EY India’s National Tax Leader, Sameer Gupta, emphasized that the platform aligns with the broader digital transformation of India’s tax ecosystem, which has set global benchmarks in technology-led governance.
Taxmann and EY India Platform Key Features: Ask Bot and Draft Bot
In its initial phase, Taxmann.AI includes an Ask Bot that processes natural language queries and returns structured answers backed by references to relevant sections, rules, circulars, and judicial precedents.
The feature reduces the time spent on manual research and improves workflow efficiency.
Users can ask complex questions and receive authoritative guidance in seconds, a task that previously required hours of document review.
The next phase will introduce a Draft Bot, which will assist users in validating legal notices, identifying potential compliance issues, and generating draft responses.
These responses will be supported by statutory provisions and relevant case law, helping professionals ensure accuracy and completeness in their communications with tax authorities.
Security and Privacy Architecture
Taxmann and EY India have implemented enterprise-grade privacy and security protocols in building Taxmann.AI.
These measures ensure that user data and generated content remain confidential.
The platform uses encryption standards that meet professional requirements for handling sensitive information.
This privacy-first architecture is critical in a domain where data integrity and confidentiality are paramount.
EY India’s tax technology practice supports over 3,300 corporates and handles transactions exceeding $600 billion annually.
This expertise brings strong infrastructure and compliance capabilities to the Taxmann.AI platform.
This ensures that Taxmann.AI is not only functional but also secure and scalable for enterprise use.
Taxmann and EY India Platform: Implications for Tax and Legal Professionals
The launch of Taxmann.AI coincides with rising demand among professionals for smarter research tools.
Many are looking for ways to navigate complex regulatory environments with greater speed and precision.
By combining trusted content with advanced AI capabilities, the platform offers a differentiated solution that addresses real-world workflow challenges.
The platform promises significant efficiencies in tax research and drafting.
However, experts caution that AI tools should support—not replace—human judgment when interpreting complex legal material.
Taxmann and EY India acknowledge the distinction in how AI should be applied.
They position the platform as a support tool that strengthens professional capabilities without automating the decision-making process.
