An up-to-date description of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (DTCA), including its scope of social impact and the external factors influencing its strategy.

Why This Book?

In recent years the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration (DTCA) has been transformed from a task-oriented organization into a market-driven one, playing a key role in the public sector of the Netherlands. Furthermore, the DTCA was tasked with new activities, including the payment of benefits and the collection of employee security contributions. Benchmarking studies have shown that in an international context the DTCA clearly is a trendsetter.

The revised book gives a detailed description of the DTCA. It outlines the organization’s transformation in the late 1980s, the further reforms around the turn of the century and the recent adjustments to these innovations, and describes in depth the structure and function of today’s modern organization. The essential role of the business, management, and compliance philosophy in the DTCA is discussed in detail, including its innovative supervision strategy. Finally, the transformation processes to improve the performance of the information supply chain and the programme of the DTCA to increase its service and efficiency, in particular by using the opportunities of e-government, are presented.

By giving a clear overview of the evolution and organization of the present-day DTCA, the authors provide valuable information, which can be applied to other tax administrations. The book is not only of value to those at the managerial level, but also to those interested in trends in management and organization.
