Valuing the seamless integration of tools across the Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE suite, Pyxus wanted to centralize its tax preparation processes further. The company worked with GTM to build a solution to maximize the value of the tools they were already using and create a more comprehensive suite of capabilities with additional ONESOURCE tools and products such as Alteryx and Orbitax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facing an increasingly complex global tax environment, Pyxus wanted to simplify and streamline its tax preparation processes and establish a digital foundation to enable the department to innovate more easily. This included bringing the tax provisioning process back in-house, minimizing manual inputs, standardizing data management and workflow, and identifying possibilities for automation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approach and solutions <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With guidance from GTM, Pyxus began its tax technology journey by finding which parts of its processes could benefit from simplification, efficiency, and innovation. GTM designed a strategic solution and implementation roadmap combining Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE\u2122 capabilities with additional solutions from Orbitax. This approach addressed Pyxus\u2019 immediate needs around streamlining and efficiency, while also setting up the tax preparation department to continually evolve and optimize. The Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE suite\u2019s out-of-the-box functionality provided an easy starting point for GTM to add additional tools to customize the solution to Pyxus\u2019 specific needs.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"sh-block--1827193252\" class=\"sh-block-wrapper quote-block \">\n<!-- quote-block\/render.twig-->\n<div class=\"container\">\n\n    \n                    \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n<!-- _partials\/quote\/slide.twig-->\n<blockquote class=\"quote-standard colorway-gray quote-smaller\">\n    <div class=\"quote-body\">\n        <span class=\"quote-mark icon\"><svg width=\"57\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 57 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M17.6744 0.695312H25.1163V8.13718H19.5349C12.093 8.13718 8.37209 11.8581 8.37209 19.3V22.0907H18.6046V40.6953H0V18.3697C0 7.20695 6.32558 0.695312 17.6744 0.695312ZM49.4884 0.695312H56.9302V8.13718H51.3488C43.907 8.13718 40.186 11.8581 40.186 19.3V22.0907H50.4186V40.6953H31.8139V18.3697C31.8139 7.20695 38.1395 0.695312 49.4884 0.695312Z\" fill=\"#6B8BFF\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n        <p>\u201cThe need for high-quality tax data is increasing exponentially.

A key element in reducing manual labor and increasing data accuracy and consistency was the implementation of ONESOURCE Workpapers, which enables tax teams to quickly and easily push and pull data to ONESOURCE Income Tax from their familiar Excel\u00ae interfaces.<\/p>\n<p><em>Standardizing data collection and distribution<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By adding ONESOURCE DataFlow, Pyxus substantially reduced time spent on tax preparation tasks and increased data accuracy and consistency. Pyxus tax teams can now customize a single master template for data entry, which automatically pushes out to all the various foreign tax packets. This reduces the need to manually keep up with multiple Excel schedules, a significant time saver during busy close periods.<\/p>\n<p><em>Simplifying tax planning and compliance<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pyxus gained a comprehensive solution for addressing the intricacies of US outbound tax planning and compliance with the Orbitax International Tax Calculator, which allowed for more streamlined and accurate foreign income calculations at quarter and year ends. Unified within the same interface, the Orbitax Global Minimum Tax solution helps tax teams handle increasingly sophisticated OECD Pillar Two provisioning with an easy-to-use tool that ensures compliance accuracy with automated calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Increased automation and efficient processes have enabled the Pyxus tax preparation teams to absorb new legislation and processes related to Pillar 2 without increasing the close cycle. Internal audit teams have reported that they have more clarity and definition across processes, as well as more visibility and control for reducing risk, such as increased audit traceability of inputs and outputs across provision calculations. Local teams have fewer questions surrounding the close process, can submit more timely, and the quality of the local team\u2019s submissions have increased.<\/p>\n<p>Using their consolidated tax tools, teams can more efficiently review and update data and processes outside busy closing periods. Benefitting from seamless data sharing, higher data consistency and accuracy, and automated compliance calculations, Pyxus tax teams have been able to shift their time and focus to reviewing more meaningful and strategic tax inputs and calculations.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"sh-block--1938413382\" class=\"sh-block-wrapper cta-block \">\n<!-- cta-block\/render.twig-->\n<div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"cta-block-inner\">\n            \n<!-- link.twig-->\n<a class=\"btn btn-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/gtmtax.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GTM_Pyxus-Case-Study_103125.pdf\" ><span>Download PDF<\/span><i class=\"icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"36\" height=\"10\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 10\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g id=\"Property 1=Right\">\n<path id=\"Arrow 2 (Stroke)\" d=\"M31.4648 1.46484C31.6601 1.26958 31.9766 1.26958 32.1719 1.46484L35.3535 4.64648C35.5488 4.84174 35.5488 5.15825 35.3535 5.35351L32.1719 8.53515C31.9766 8.73041 31.6601 8.73041 31.4648 8.53515C31.2696 8.33989 31.2696 8.02338 31.4648 7.82812L33.793 5.5L1 5.49999L1 4.49999L33.793 4.5L31.4648 2.17187C31.2696 1.97661 31.2696 1.6601 31.4648 1.46484Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n<\/i><\/a> \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-1744","insight","type-insight","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
