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.
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.

Students and teachers in Brunei will be given cloud-based email accounts by the end of this month, opening up opportunities for collaborative learning in the future.
“Students from year four onwards, teachers and school leaders will be given the official school email account hosted for free,” said Hj Mohd Yussof Hj Metassim, Acting Director of Brunei Ministry of Education (MoE)’s Information and Communication Department.
The MoE has started training users of the new email programme.
Setting up email accounts is part of the Microsoft Live@Edu Programme, which has collaborative tools for students and teachers to participate in online tutorials and discussions, collaborate on assignments, share calendars and workspaces.
MoE will also create an online Teachers’ Assessment Questionnaire to measure all teachers’ information technology (IT) skills and how well they use IT for teaching.
The results will help MoE match training courses to the needs of individual teachers, added Metassim.
