The revenue agency of the future
Seven keys to digital transformation
Revenue agencies, perhaps more than any other part of government, must keep pace with the technology revolution reshaping our world. Why? Because to be successful, revenue agencies need to be as nimble, adaptive, and digitally savvy as the economies they tax. After all, tax agencies provide the fuel that powers government, allowing the public sector to deal with issues from health services to infrastructure investment to national security.
Terms such as Knowledge economy, Sharing economy, Gig economy, Cryptocurrency exchanges and Virtual transactions are not just buzzwords, they are modern-day realities that the world’s revenue and tax agencies face. In a world of accelerating digital and economic disruption, many revenue agencies recognize that yesterday’s taxation models—and the systems that support them—can no longer keep pace with the technology revolution reshaping our world.
