Case study


Calculation of potential inheritance tax burden in Germany


OutSystems Practice


Client issue



The client needed a tool to support the company valuation for inheritance / gift tax purposes and the calculation of the inheritance tax burden, especially for groups of companies in a country like Germany, since this is a process rather complicated and very demanding in terms of effort.

 

Sector: Tax Services
Period work performed: Dec 2018 – Jun 2020
Country: Germany


 

Approach:

In this engagement we formed a multidisciplinary team including business consultants, UX/UI specialists, software developers and software quality assurance specialists to analyze, design, develop and successfully deliver a solution that would meet client’s expectations, expressed through its requirements. It was used an agile approach consisting in a set of sprints, each delivering a set of high valued features that, in the end of the final sprint would make the solution. The sprints were planned based on the cost/benefit of the features represented on the products backlog. To be ready for development, each feature would have to pass through a business requirement analysis, a UX/UI design and a technical specification. The sprint itself consisted in the development and tests of the features planned. The technology used was Outsystems as a development platform and Jira as a project management support platform.

 

   

   

 

“The collaboration with PwC Portugal was highly successful. With the agile and business-value-focused approach of the development, we were able to adjust the scope where necessary and achieved the best working tool-solution for our business needs.”
