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.

The new eRegister Portal (eregister.mfa.gov.sg), has a new user interface and additional features, allowing Singaporeans to eRegister using web-enabled mobile phones.

Frequent travellers will be able to save their profile details for easy retrieval next time they e-register, a statement from MFA has said.

The new system will also allow updates or changes to be made by the user after the initial e-registration. In addition, all e-registrants will now receive an email or text acknowledgment with the contact details of the nearest Singapore overseas missions available at their travel destinations.

MFA started its eRegister service in 2000, to allow all Singaporeans who are travelling, living or moving to a foreign country to share their travel or relocation details with the ministry.
