This is how the Tax Administration is organised
The Tax Administration consists of a directorate and five divisions with nationwide responsibilities. The directorate and the divisions are independent administrative agencies. The tax offices manage nationwide tasks for the entire Tax Administration, not just for their own region.
The Directorate of Taxes
The Directorate of Taxes consists of four departments: the Governance Department, the Human Resources Department, the Communication and User Experience Department, and the Legal Department. The departments are the Tax Administration’s point of contact with the Ministry of Finance in their respective fields of expertise.
The divisions
The divisions have a nationwide responsibility for their respective fields of expertise. Four of the divisions, the Information Management Division, the Personal Tax Division, the Business Division, and the Collection Division have a nationwide responsibility for the Tax Administration’s core business. In addition, the IT Division provide support for the core business and the directorate.
The Information Management Division fulfils the Tax Administration’s central role as an information manager in the public sector. The division is a specialised unit for the collection, quality assurance, administration and disclosing of information, internally and externally.
The Personal Tax Division provides guidance and assesses and audits tax for individuals and sole proprietorships. This includes tax deduction cards, tax returns, and tax assessment. The division is also responsible for employer's national insurance contributions.
The Business Division provides guidance and assesses and audits tax for businesses. This covers the entire taxation process, from advance payment assessment, tax return, audit, and tax assessment. The division is also responsible for value added tax and excise duties.
The division has the main responsibility for collection (accounting and collection) on behalf of the state. The division ensures that taxes, duties, and other claims are paid on time.
The IT Division ensures that the Tax Administration has a well-functioning IT portfolio that supports the ability to deliver on the social mandate in the short and long term, through planning, development, and administration.
