DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TAX PAYMENT SYSTEM

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TAX PAYMENT SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The current system of tax payment system is faced with few technical issues, ranging from improper identification of taxpayers. This calls for the need to develop a system that corrects this error. The proposed tax payment system Obtain and keep proper records on the number of taxpayer to avoid double payment, which did not occur in the old system. The methodology adopted for this project is the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM). The new system reduces the rate of manual method and time consuming and also ensure accuracy processing. Then it Retrieved and update tax payment records.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY    

Due to the dynamic nature of the world technology today i.e. the age of computerization of our society, there has been a need to automate the taxation systems. Broadly speaking, computer has effectively attracted a great deal of attentions in recent time, due to its automation processes and its effects in our society today. According to “Principles of Taxation (POT)” written by Keynesian (1945), taxation is a payment levied by government for which no goods or service is received directly in return-that is, the amount of tax people obtained from the provision of particular good or service. Up until the early 1930s, it was universally accepted in principle that governments should balance their budgets. Thus, the principle reason for taxation was to pay for government expenditure.

However, according to “UK Government” (2003), electronic taxation (E-Taxation) is referred to the online payment of tax by taxpayers. E-payment facilitates payment of direct taxes online by taxpayers. To avail to this facility, taxpayers are required to have a net-banking account, with any of the authorized banks.

Computer based online tax payment (E-tax payment) system is a computerized online payment system which allows fast and easy monitoring and payment of taxes online. The firm under study, Board of Internal Revenue (BIR) Calabar is a sector under government of Cross River State which helps to generate revenue for the state government through tax payment and other activities that they carry out.  This sector was established in 1976 by a group of an edict and they are government means of generating revenue for the state government. The sector (BIR) under study are making use of manual methods which is slow in carrying out operation and also creates employment for individuals which is one of the fighting measures to reduce crime rate and unemployment rate in our country today.

1.2       STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The problems with the existing system are:

1. Poor horizontal, vertical and outward communication between the various departments involved, because the system is standalone.
2. Improper identification of taxpayers
3. Problem to ensure that taxpayers who need information can obtain it accurately and on time.
