Urgency and goal
The expectations and questions from politicians, citizens and businesses are constantly changing and at a rapid pace and make high demands on the Tax and Customs Administration. One of the goals of the Tax and Customs Administration’s long-term vision is to respond more quickly and more flexibly to the expectations from society and politics. In order to realize these ambitions, the IV production improvement process has been set up. The purpose of this process is to ensure that the tax authorities can operate more efficiently and effectively. This is done using the SABel reference model; Safe Agile Tax and Customs Administration.
