  7. ? How can IT help Reforming Tax & Revenue Management and Customs & Border Management • Specific Pain points Business Practice Improvement needed • Multiple, redundant, stand-alone systems • For each tax, fee, revenue and payment type, and for each step in the revenue lifecycle a separate system is required. These are often, silos, custom-built, “one-off”, or legacy in-house systems with outdated technology. • Agility to meet business and legal changes • Outdated stovepipe systems using point to point integration aren’t prepared to meet changing business and legal requirements • Fragmented access and Inefficient billing & collection • Limited channels of access hinders taxpayer interaction, causing low constituent satisfaction and negatively impacting compliance rates • Taxpayers have no ability to access accounts and make payments on-line • Single revenue type limitations • Multiple systems, processes and personnel for different revenue types, (fees, taxes, duties, payments) causes redundant data capture • Limited view of taxpayer • No single view of taxpayer or taxpayer’s total obligation, resulting in lost revenue and lower compliance • Limited view of taxpayer/trader • Risk of non or low compliance • Low compliance • No risk scoring capabilities, limited visibility into taxpayer total obligations and status, and inability to track or match documentation results in poorly targeted, incomplete audit coverage • Uncaptured revenue/duty • Uncaptured revenue • No method for detecting and reducing fraud and non-filing

  9. High SECURITY FACILITATION Low Market Trends and Drivers • Key Drivers • Increased Trade Volume • Regulatory Changes e.g.: • WTO • Supply Chain Security • Authorized Economic Operators • EU MASP Convergence • Legacy Systems • Organizational/Operational Changes & Mergers • Customs & Revenue Management (UK, SARS) • Border Control (USA, SARS, UK) • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)/Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA)

  10. Customs Role in Trade Facilitation • Trade Facilitation: “the simplification and harmonization of international trade procedures (the activities, formalities and practices involved in collecting, presenting, communicating and processing data required for the movement of goods in international trade”)*. • Countries with a Low TF Index have the following problems: • Border/Port Delays • Lack of Transparency & Predictablity • Complicated Documentation Requirements • Outdated, innefficient Customs Procedures • Resulting High Trade Transaction Costs (from 1 to 15%). • Higher impact on SMEs • Direct Relationship Between High TTCs and FDI • Marginal Improvements in TF Would Result in US$ Billions of Savings to World Economy

  23. Changes With Time Partially Unknown Manageable Risk Management: Strategic Objectives of RM Program • Developing a Customs Intelligence infrastructure or coordinating planning and steering operational activity; • Ability to gather, analyze, validate, store and retrieve intelligence; • Manage Customs interventions as exceptions to normal processing; and, • Focus limited inspection resources on where they are most needed.

  24. Candidates for Green Channel Risk Management: Trade Segmentation RISK

  25. Risk Management Program Overview • Building the Foundation • Workload Analysis Drives Key Policy Decisions Related to Risk: • Identify Primary Focus Industries • Establish Trade Priority Issues • Focus on Largest Importers • Develop Account Management Strategy • Strengthen Partnerships with Compliant Traders and Service Providers • Initiate Legislative Program Reforms if Necessary

  26. All selection parameters are under Customs control Inspections are assigned to specific teams Solution Risk Engine Sorts reliable traders from unreliable ones based on their demonstrated compliance over time Uniform risk management system for customs transaction processing systems (declaration processing, manifest)

  27. = Selects for high priority intervention, where a particular threat is certain to occur Low Risk Trader RandomRule Transaction Profiles Risk Filters KnownThreats Applies filters sequentially - in order of the potential severity or probability of threat NewTraderRule Selects for control any transactions involving a new trader, who presents an unknown threat = High RiskTrader Selects for control any transaction involving a trader who has demonstrated poor compliance in his customs business = Selects transactions at random to sample general trader population and provide “honesty” check on low risk traders = Selects for release transactions involving traders who have demonstrated a high degree of compliance over time in their customs business = Selects for control transactions that match Customs defined criteria of possible threat (automatic step up/step down with each hit/miss) =

  28. Automatically updates profiles with inspection feedback – the system “tunes” itself Risk Analysis System automatically calculates a compliance rating for each trader who does business with Customs

  29. Targeting Screen (sensitivity adjustments) Customs sets system selection parameters for high and low risk traders (negative and positive selections)

  30. Wear-Off effect Customs decides impact of old violations on trader rating

  31. Valuation Control: Objectives • Prevent tax loss from under-valuation, false invoicing and Customs fraud in general • Collect price data of “identical or similar” goods needed for Customs valuation purposes (i.e., valuation under methods 2 or 3, audit support, validation of related party prices, etc.) • Identify operations or traders that may require audit or investigation • Prevent evasion of hard currency controls through over-valuation • Ensure accuracy of external trade statistics

  32. Valuation Control: Design Features • Allows Customs to obtain product data from importers at the level of detail required to make valid price comparisons • Allows Customs to target imports that present high risk of under-valuation (“reasons to doubt”), and deliver a control message to Customs valuation examiner • Allows the Customs examiner to analyze declared prices against historic data, and adjust for different trade levels, currency fluctuation, mode of transport, and other WTO-allowed factors • Automatically builds an in-country, price database, accessible by Customs managers, of good and bad prices for analysis, creation of risk profiles, planning, etc.
