The Sales Tax Business Process Management
team has developed an integrated I.T
solution for enhancing sales tax compliance.
It is risk based program and has been given
the appropriate name of Computerized Risk
Based Evaluation of Sales Tax. It is
developed in such a way that it reflects the
performance of the department in transparent
manner. For this purpose, all available
information such as data of returns,
registration, summary of sales and
purchases, GD Imports and Export is used to
cross match and verify the declaration made
in return, refund etc. In the absence of
authentication of invoices through using 2-D
Bar Code, this offers an effective
alternaive E.Invoices project is, also,
under study and different modules are being
explored to develop indigenous software for
capturing of invoices. Given the present
pace of progress, all these tailor made
programs should be operational by the end of
June, 2008.
The system verifies compliance using risk
management approach to promote voluntarily
compliance. It targets areas of greater risk
and those taxpayers with a history of
non-compliance so that a level playing field
can be provided for compliant taxpayers. The
compliance model helps in understanding as
to why people are not complying and to
develop appropriate response to particular
behavior as early as possible. So far the
system has explored internal capabilities
and is on schedule to have linkage with
external sources such as third party data.
Domain experts of CREST are interacting with
the taxpayers community across the board.
The CREST intends to give the community the
very best tax administration. It intends to
focus on the taxpayers and to have a
360-degree view of all the sectors and
potential taxpayers. BPM team will develop
database to differentiate between different
tends and to develop automatic FBR response
accordingly. |
