Fully Automated Services in Revenue Management in Addis Ababa
The Integrated Revenue Management System project in Ethiopia has fully automated services to over 300 000 customers of the Revenue Agency of the Addis Ababa City Administration, including new taxpayer registration, assessment of different tax types based on the relevant regulations, payment and collection, and clearance certificate generation. It has enabled the Tax Authority to collect more revenue as the system has facilities for tracking unsettled liabilities which in turn helps to track unsettled liabilities for further legal enforcement. The project has been fully operational since the 2003/2004-budget year.
