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.

Green mandate for China's civil servants
Government workers in China must start going green in order to keep their jobs. So says He Jiankun, Deputy Head, Committee of Experts, at the National Climate Change Coordination Committee.
Carbon reduction will be included as a performance index for Chinese public sector officials, and could potentially impact their career paths, said He.
This falls in line with Premier Wen Jiabao’s (pictured) announcement last month that carbon reduction targets would be included in national development programmes.
The inclusion of a green performance index ensures that Wen’s green goals will not stop at the central government level, but will be a priority for local government officials as well.
Li Ganjie, Vice Minister of China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection, said that he is convinced that the central government will continue to invest in green measures, although he is not sure whether local government will implement these environmental standards fully.
The change in assessment criteria for all Chinese officials could make the difference, he added.
