The bottom line

Roughly 85% of the work in Tax Examiners and Collectors, and Revenue Agents is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.

Why: The toolset is overwhelmingly software-based, with 28 of 30 tools falling in UNSPSC segment 43 (IT/software, prior 0.85), including tax compliance, OCR, and database software. This is reinforced by top Work Activities like 'Working with Computers' (4.77), 'Getting Information' (4.57), and 'Evaluating Information to Determine Compliance' (4.46), all indicating highly AI-addressable knowledge work. However, the role also requires significant interpersonal engagement, seen in 'Communicating with People Outside the Organization' (4.88) and 'Working Directly with the Public' (4.74), which anchors the scalar at 0.85 rather than a pure 1.0.
