Business Context

Revenue administrations use performance indicators to improve productivity, increase collections, and measure operational efficiency. However, excessive emphasis on numerical targets may encourage decisions that prioritize speed over taxpayer service, fairness, and long-term compliance.

Taxation TRIZ Resolution

Performance frameworks should balance quantitative indicators with measures of taxpayer satisfaction, service quality, dispute resolution, and voluntary compliance. Administrative success should reflect both operational efficiency and public value.

Applicable TRIZ Principles

Principle 35 – Parameter Changes: Expands performance measurement beyond financial and productivity indicators.

Principle 23 – Feedback: Continuously evaluates operational performance using balanced performance measures.

Principle 3 – Local Quality: Applies different performance metrics according to administrative functions.

Expected Outcome

Better public service

Improved operational performance

Higher taxpayer satisfaction

Stronger governance

Sustainable compliance
