  • Notes on whether the information provided to payers is comprehensive, up to date, and easy to access

 

  • The means by which information is provided.
  • Tax code and other revenue legislation. In resource-rich countries, additional legislation may include relevant information as part of natural resource management arrangements

 

  • Revenue agency websites and publications with information on key obligations and rights

 

  • Customized information products tailored to the needs of key payer segments

 

  • Documented procedures (of the entities collecting most or majority of the central government revenue)

 

  • The best information sources are the revenue authorities, and investment and promotion agencies. Information should also be triangulated with taxpayer and business associations, chamber/s of commerce, etc.

 

  • Some countries have one-stop shops, government service centers, or e-government portals that perform some or all of the client service involved in revenue administration.)
