Evaluate the impact of policy changes with SAS Viya

We use Aurora [based on SAS Viya] whenever we need very accurate results or an analysis of a tax regime that is very rare. The better our estimations are, the better our policymakers are informed, and the better the results will be.” Adriaan Luyten Head of the Tax Policy Unit, Federal Public Service Finance Belgium's Federal Public Service Finance

Belgium's Federal Public Service Finance uses SAS Viya to better understand the effects of tax reform. To get a true representation of the impact of future tax reform, the data scientists at FPS Finance would need an analytics tool precise enough to zoom in on small segments of the population and powerful enough to analyze all 7 million returns quickly.

The agency’s new tool, Aurora, offers that flexibility. Aurora is a digital twin of the calculator that processes Belgium’s income taxes. It includes a copy of Belgium’s personal income tax data, the complex calculations and the multitude of business rules. Regardless of the scope, Aurora, based on SAS Viya, delivers fast, accurate answers.
