“Blockchain and its digital ledger platform can revolutionise the way data is analysed, exchanged and stored by the IRS. It can help the IRS lower costs and increase security, as well as enhance the speed in which it accesses and reviews taxpayer data … and reduce fraud,” he says.

Smart contracts technology can help the IRS manage and enforce settlement agreements with taxpayers, as well as manage various other agreements with individual and corporate taxpayers.”
