Taxpayer Registration (TPR)
A fundamental initial step in administering taxes is taxpayer registration and numbering. Tax administrations must compile and maintain a complete database of businesses and individuals that are required by law to register. Registration and numbering of each taxpayer underpins key administrative processes associated with filing, assessment, payment and collection.
This course will deliver an overview of the essential elements of a high integrity registration process and register. It will explore the legal requirements of registration and the policies to support achievement of a high integrity taxpayer register. It will cover the design features of a good practice registration process, including how technology can be used to improve authentication and speed up processes. It will include risk and compliance strategies, highlighting the use of third-party data to identify unregistered taxpayers and provide practical guidance and techniques to ensure the data on the taxpayer register has high integrity and is maintained. A key focus will be the importance of continuous learning and adapting - looking at the use of smarter ways of delivering outcomes - analytics, behavioral insights, segmentation as examples.
