The Revenue Department of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has a central administration responsible for the operation and policy direction for about half of total tax revenues in Thailand. Thailand's tax revenues have been increasing rapidly due to the country's rapid economic development;therefore, Government has invested time and money into an integrated computerized system for tax administration to improve the efficiency of its tax system. While the computer information system will integrated within a central database all tax administered by Revenue Department, allowing distributed and decentralized data processing through interconnected computers at the regional and provincial level and more than 1,000 microcomputers at the district level. The computer information system will well enhance the government's tax processing capacity by processing transactions related to payments, delinquent accounts, appeals, audits, stop- or non-filers, and income and withholding data. The computer information system will also allow Revenue Department to achieve its targets for improved management capacity and operational efficiency as well equity and effectiveness in the overall tax administration.
