After the successful development and
deployment of the M-ITAIS it has become a worldwide reference for a
successful taxation system. Delegations from Korea, Thailand, USA,
Singapore, China, Islamic Republic of Iran, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia,
Nicaragua, Chile, Malawi, Peru, Costa Rica, and many other countries
have visited the Financial Data Center in Taiwan in order to observe the
system and seek advice from the designers of the system. The M-ITAIS now
collects more than 80% of the Government¡¦s annual revenue. This is one
of the most healthy government revenue collection structures and systems
in the world.
With this strong taxation administration information system serving as
the basis of the Government¡¦s financial structure, the government can
rapidly implement new and revised national policies. For example, an
All-In-One Functional Counter service and a unified tax payer account
management allows tax officers to monitor and manage information from
multiple agencies and the one-stop service for various requests.
Additional enhancements have been implemented to provide the Ministry of
Finance with daily updates on the tax collection information, the
national wealth and to provide financial information to social welfare
groups for immediate action.. |
