A reform program (RlRA) with the financial assistance from the Government of the United Kingdom has been undertaken in order to build a modern efficient and time-befitting tax administration. The main objectives of this program are to introduce a common TIN for income tax and VAT for ensuring much needed co-ordination between these two departments, prevent revenue leakage by consolidating internal audit and inspection, achieve human resource development by increasing professional skills and adopt a coordinated tax education program for creating public awareness.
