Abstract
Computerization is an important part of
World Bank tax and customs projects. Revenue administration
computerization projects should be seen in the broader
context of public sector reforms. They touch on issues such
as the government's overall strategy for information
technology, the revenue agency's autonomy in
maintaining information technology systems, civil service
laws and procurement policies, and communication and
cooperation among government agencies. Drawing on completed
and ongoing projects -- especially the Philippines Tax
Computerization Project -- this note offers recommendations
for project design and implementation.
