Case studies
How accountants and tax advisors use Auryth
Real scenarios from our early access programme. These stories show how Auryth fits into the daily workflow of tax professionals in Belgium.
Cutting research time on cross-border inheritance questions
The challenge
A tax advisory practice handling cross-border estate planning between Belgium and neighbouring countries. Each case required hours of manual research: cross-referencing the WIB with bilateral treaties, checking recent rulings, and verifying whether circular interpretations had changed.
How Auryth helped
Auryth's jurisdiction-aware search instantly surfaced relevant provisions across federal and regional legislation, ranked by legal authority. The confidence score indicated which answers were well-supported and which needed manual verification — reducing time spent on false leads.
The result
Research that previously took 2-3 hours per question was reduced to 20-30 minutes of targeted verification, with the heavy lifting done upfront.
"Before, I'd have three browser tabs open — the legislation, a recent ruling, a PDF of the latest circular — trying to piece it together. Now I get a sourced answer with a confidence score in under a minute."
Using confidence scoring to triage client questions
The challenge
A mid-size accounting firm receiving a high volume of client tax questions — from routine corporate tax rates to complex restructuring scenarios. Junior staff needed to know when they could confidently answer and when to escalate.
How Auryth helped
The confidence score became a natural triage mechanism. High-confidence answers (85%+) on well-established topics could be used as a starting point for client responses. Lower scores flagged questions that genuinely required senior review — not because the tool failed, but because the underlying law was ambiguous or recently changed.
The result
Senior partners spent less time on routine questions and more on the complex cases that actually needed their expertise. Junior staff gained confidence knowing exactly when to escalate.
"Our juniors used to escalate everything to be safe. Now the confidence score gives them a clear signal — 90% on a standard deduction question means they can draft the response. 60% on a restructuring scenario means it goes to a senior. That distinction saves hours every week."
Navigating regional differences in inheritance and gift tax
The challenge
A multi-family office advising high-net-worth families on estate planning across Belgian regions. Inheritance and gift tax rates, exemptions, and planning structures differ between Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels — and the rules change frequently. With assets and family members spread across regions, applying the wrong regime is a real risk.
How Auryth helped
Auryth's jurisdiction-aware engine automatically distinguishes between Flemish, Walloon, and Brussels legislation. Each answer clearly indicates which region's rules apply, and the source hierarchy shows exactly which decree or code article was used — critical when comparing planning strategies across regions.
The result
The team could quickly compare regional treatment for the same scenario, reducing the risk of applying the wrong region's rules and giving clients a clear, sourced comparison of their options.
"We had a family where the patriarch lived in Brussels but held real estate in Flanders and a business in Wallonia. Auryth immediately flagged which regime applied to each asset class and cited the right decrees. Doing that comparison manually would have taken half a day."
