ANALYSIS OF MAJOR ISSUES""; ""VII. CONCLUSIONS""; ""Bibliography for the Literature Review"" 330 3 $aRevenue authorities (RAs) have been adopted by some countries as an alternative delivery model for improved revenue administration. They are sometimes seen as a possible solution to problems such as low rates of tax compliance, ineffective tax administration staff, and corruption. The paper discusses RAs as a governance model, from the perspective of revenue administration and the almost universal desire to improve performance and compliance with the law. It compiles and analyses features of the model, examines reasons why revenue authorities were established, and explores the extent to which countries have evaluated the success of the model. It also assesses countries' own perceptions about how this model may have contributed to tax administration reform. Further, the paper discusses data collection difficulties in carrying out an assessment using econometric analysis, and the problem of attributing changes in performance to a particular governance model. The paper concludes that while there are subjective perceptions among countries with revenue authorities that their model has led to improved revenue administration and has spurred modernization, there is no objective analysis that countries with RAs have performed better in this regard than countries without RAs. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/240. 606 $aRevenue$xAccounting 606 $aTax administration and procedure 615 0$aRevenue$xAccounting. 615 0$aTax administration and procedure. 700 $aKidd$b Maureen$01670370 701 $aCrandall$b William Joseph$f1948-$01764232 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bFiscal Affairs Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813817903321 996 $aRevenue authorities$94205010 997 $aUNINA
