Nael Sayedahmed, Shaista Anwar · 2025
The current study focused on addressing how governmental agencies are using Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications to detect tax fraud with a focus on Palestine. This is done using a review of the experiences from different Arab neighboring countries like UAE, KSA, Jordan, Qatar and others. This is based on the fact that many governments around the world are adapting AI in their services, and using its many solutions to provide better public services. It is a reality that Arab countries have also started to implement policies related to AI use to help manage digital transformation and risks associated with frauds in financial statements and tax reports, which is also true for Palestinian public sector. The study concluded that AI applications are of great importance to help detect and avoid tax fraud, and that public sector services, especially tax services need to apply AI solutions to their many risks including: legal risks, poor financial reporting risks, information privacy risks, and risks of poor quality of tax reports
