Case Study: PepsiCo achieves 320-hour savings and $60K in consulting fee reductions with CSC Corptax

PepsiCo, Inc. Cuts 320 Hours and $60K in Consulting Fees by Automating BEPS CbCR

PepsiCo, Inc. relied on a small two-person tax team to manage Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) across 1,000+ business units, 600 constituent entities, and 90+ jurisdictions using Excel-based templates. The process involved inconsistent US GAAP and local statutory data, manual database massaging, and repeated re-entry into Corptax, creating limited visibility, duplicated effort, and unnecessary risk.

CSC Corptax implemented BEPS CbC, allowing PepsiCo to replicate prior-year calculations in Corptax, automate pulls from Corptax Office POV, and reuse compliant CbCR data for Global Minimum Tax work. The result was a more reliable single source of truth that aligned US compliance, CbCR, and GMT data, while saving about 320 hours and $60,000 in consulting fees and improving data completeness and analytics for tax review.
