Revenue and customs<br />
Revenue and customs agencies are charged with<br />
collecting the taxes that run the <strong>government</strong>.<br />
Because their regulations touch such a broad base<br />
of both citizens and businesses, elimination of<br />
low-value manual processes can have a profound<br />
impact—allowing agencies to focus on the bigger<br />
challenges of enforcing compliance and improving<br />
service. If revenue and customs agencies can ensure<br />
these interactions are simple and swift, the departments<br />
can perform their revenue-raising jobs easier<br />
and cheaper. The innovative practices here show<br />
how <strong>government</strong>s in the revenue and customs areas<br />
have used online services to encourage compliance<br />
while reducing the burden on the customer.<br />
