Indra, one of the world's leading global consulting and technology companies, fulfills the first and most important milestone of Jibayatic, the great modernization project of the Algerian tax system, after the launch into operation of the new tax management system at the CDI (Centre des impôts) pilot center in El Harrach, in Algiers.
The project, driven by the General Tax Department of the Ministry of Finance in Algeria, is based on the ERP tax management system using SAP and has the goal of creating a centralized and unique information system on a national level to provide automated support for all tax management-related tasks. At the same time, it intends to increase efficiency in the fight against fraud thanks to traceability and control of information, both nationally and locally, for each of the 600 collection centers located countrywide.
The launch of this platform at the tax center in East Algiers is the project's most relevant phase as the initial contact by users with the solution, and in including non-oil taxes at the highest collection level, such as VAT, Corporations, Income and Professional Activity Fees.
Its commissioning has enabled validation of the basic tax management functionalities, representing almost 60% of those defined within the project's global scope. Examples of these include the presentation of declarations, automated identification of non-compliance with tax-related obligations, payment of tax-related obligations and debts, generation of settlement proposals, returns and tax-related status certifications, among others. Once this first phase is extended to the remaining centers, the rest of the taxes will be added, including taxes for oil and gas levied on activities in those sectors in which many multinationals are present in this country.
More transparent management
Thanks to this project, it will be possible for the General Tax Department to integrate all information on tax management, improve the identification of fiscal obligations of taxpayers and increase its collection levels, thanks to the traceability of data and greater control over fraud. Likewise, the automation of fiscal management will result in operating costs cuts and higher control levels.
It will also contribute notable improvements in contents and quality of taxpayer services by facilitating processes for compliance with tax-related obligations electronically and by increasing the transparency of these procedures.
This project, in addition, is the largest global reference of tax management system implementation using SAP, thereby facilitating a wide spectrum of opportunities in the market of international public administrations for Indra. The platform will provide activity support for 10,000 civil servants of the General Tax Department and will enable information exchange throughout the entire organization, comprised of seven central headquarters located at the head office, nine regional tax headquarters, 51 provincial headquarters and over 300 decentralized local services.
More than 100 million taxpayers worldwide are currently being managed using systems developed with Indra's participation. This experience has enabled the successful validation of solutions oriented at improving efficiency of fiscal control and, in addition and among other advantages, increasing effectiveness of the fight against fraud.
