Description

TTP is a 5-year programme, which commenced in 2019 and will end in 2024. It focuses on customs, domestic tax and tax policy. The beneficiary institutions are the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Revenue, and the Customs Commission.

A proposal for the phased development of a Business Process Transformation (BPT) initiative was approved by the Minister of Revenues in June 2019. The scope and methodology for the phases of the program, are as follows:
