We will engage with businesses and individuals in ways that make it easier to do the right thing, and harder to make mistakes
To ensure compliance and correct taxation, it is essential that users find it easy to do the right thing from the outset. We will meet businesses and individuals with what they need, where they need it. Our services will be based on users’ needs, and form part of other services that users interact with. We develop efficient solutions for our users, while also preventing misuse and fraud. This will help maintain high levels of trust in the Tax Administration.
Through more active communication and improved user interactions, we will make it easier for individuals and businesses to understand their rights and obligations, and to keep track of their own information.
Users will experience the Tax Administration as predictable. They will largely be able to serve themselves, but when they need assistance, they will encounter a solution-oriented and efficient agency that seeks to resolve the matter at first contact.
We will implement fundamental changes in the area of collection. This work will affect the entire Tax Administration and facilitate new forms of dialogue with users, new ways of working, and system adaptations. In developing new services beyond the area of collection, we will pay particular attention to the needs of businesses. We aim to be present in businesses’ own processes and systems.
While we make it easier to do the right thing, it will also become harder to misuse or make mistakes. We will achieve this by embedding compliance into systems, influencing behaviour, and conducting targeted audits. We will motivate users to make the right choices, and we will detect errors, evasion, and misuse.
We will strengthen our knowledge of how we influence users to do the right thing. We will understand how to build coherent services and support life events that are important for taxation and compliance. At the same time, we will enhance our understanding of how services are misused, and how we can counteract this. We will understand how changes around us – such as new business models and work related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals affect businesses and society. We will have sufficient competence to address developments that influence tax revenues and trust in the Tax Administration, so that we initiate change early enough.
