TAXR
Transforming Tax Collection with Blockchain Technology
Executive Summary
TAXR is a blockchain-based platform revolutionizing property tax collection by transforming paper-based, inefficient tax processes into a transparent, efficient digital ecosystem. The platform creates immediate benefits for tax authorities while generating new financial opportunities for investors and improved experiences for taxpayers.
The TAXR platform addresses a $400 billion annual property tax market in the U.S. alone, where outdated processes cost counties approximately $500 million annually in administrative overhead and create significant cash flow challenges due to delayed and delinquent payments.
The Problem
Tax collection in most U.S. counties relies on outdated, paper-intensive processes that create substantial inefficiencies:
- High administrative costs for printing, mailing, and manual processing
- Delayed cash flow from standard collection timelines
- Limited options for managing the $14+ billion in annual delinquent tax receivables
- Reconciliation delays between payment and recording
- Poor visibility into collection status and performance
- Inconvenient payment options for taxpayers
The TAXR Solution
TAXR brings tax collection into the digital age through a unique triple-token blockchain architecture:
