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.

Thailand plans ICT community centre roll-out
Thailand’s Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT) has announced plans to build community ICT centres in all districts across the country, pending budget approval of 400 million baht (US$11.7 million) from central government.
The ICT centres will be open to all citizens, regardless of age and gender, according to Sue Lor-Uthai, Permanent Secretary for MICT. People in the provinces will have access to digital and online content. The ICT centres will also be expected to serve as education hubs.
If approved, MICT will work with agencies such as the National Telecommunications Commission and state-owned TOT Public Company Limited to roll out the project across the country’s 800 districts.
Just last month, MICT announced a 40 per cent budget cut in the fiscal year 2010, from 3 billion baht (US$87.8 million) to 1.2 billion baht (US$35.1 million).
Sue said he expects the budget for the project to follow from the second round of Thailand’s fiscal stimulus excercise.
