PRIME MINISTER’S DELIVERY UNIT FOR TAX DATA ANALYST
Background:
In February 2017, the Ethiopian Revenue & Customs Authority (ERCA) Director General established a Tax Transformation Office (TTO) within his office, with the objective of supporting and delivering an ambitious tax transformation. This unit was established with the full endorsement of the Prime Minister’s Office, and follows a detailed diagnostic conducted on Ethiopia’s tax system in 2016.
The primary aim of the TTO is to support and track the implementation of a series of tax reform initiatives by enhancing existing escalation channels and reporting mechanisms across ERCA’s hierarchy and systems. Tax reform initiatives are structured around the
Director General’s (DG) and Minister of Finance’s six priority areas for reform: Audit, Debt, Large Taxpayers Office, Organizational Health, Data and IT and Tax System. Each Priority Area consists of two to five initiatives, led by an Initiative Owner. From this, the TTO is expected to deliver a lasting transformation of ERCA and meet ambitious national tax revenue targets. The TTO reports directly to the Director General of ERCA, with less hierarchy and more lean support than traditional divisions. The TTO is expected to overcome a wide variety of complex implementation challenges, including initiative roadblocks or failure, reprioritization and owner change. The TTO will also serve as a highly- visible signal of transformation to ERCA and will be a role model of committed, results- oriented, and successful delivery practice.
To support the efficient working of the Tax Transformation Office, the Prime Minister’s Delivery Unit (PMDU) have established a tax unit. One remit of this unit will be to provide data monitoring, analysis and reports of the tax transformation progress and escalate emerging issues to the Prime Minister’s Office.
