Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.
Unlocking Public Value
A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.

Czech Senate passes e-govt bill
The Senate has approved a bill which will allow civil servants to do more of their government paperwork over the internet.
The bill will summon the creation of electronic data boxes which would enable departments to communicate among themselves as well as firms and citizens who have their own data boxes. The Interior Ministry hopes the move will reduce bureaucracy and save citizens’ and clerks’ time.
The bill is slated to take effect on July 1, 2009.
Interior Minister Ivan Langer hopes that this would help create a public administration revolution. The bill was supported by a majority of 53 out of 56 senators who were present. It was passed by a majority of the votes in the Chamber of Deputies in June 2008.
State bodies will be mandated to communicate electronically with one another while it will not be compulsory for all individuals. “But we are looking for ways to motivate them to obtain the boxes,” said Langer.
The ministry will create data boxes for interested individuals free of charge within three working days of the application filing.
