ACHIEVING TAX COMPLIANCE OPERATION

Large business taxpayers have different characteristics and tax compliance behaviour and, therefore, present different risks to the revenue. To manage risks effectively, the revenue body needs to develop and implement strategies that are appropriate to the unique characteristics and compliance issues presented by taxpayers. This training programme focuses on achieving tax compliance operation. Many tax administrations have instituted specific organizational and management arrangements as well as special compliance programs and initiatives as part of a strategy to deal effectively with taxpayers. The aim of this training programme is to equip participants with tax compliance skills, initiatives used by tax administrations and overall tax knowledge.
