Increase Revenue
With complete end-to-end tax data warehousing support and a single-entity portfolio view of the taxpayer, agencies can increase the overall effectiveness of compliance initiatives by targeting resources to those taxpayers that have the highest probability of non-compliance, resulting in accurate and revenue maximizing detection and recovery of non-registrants, non-filers and under-reporting taxpayers. Effective treatment strategies can be determined on outstanding bills resulting in better allocation of collection resources. New data source loads and compliance programs can be activated quickly with little overhead, allowing Tax and Revenue agencies to run various scenarios to find the most effective compliance initiatives. The return on investment (ROI) for a DiscoverTax® project is so significant, RSI will implement the solution and be paid only from the resulting benefits, without any up-front costs to the agency.

Increase Productivity - While Reducing Workload
DiscoverTax® provides tax agencies with a state-of-the-art tax data warehouse solution which interconnects data from multiple sources and provides the tools to automate the majority of data warehouse loading & matching, lead selection, noticing and recovery case management tasks. Agencies can spend less time manipulating data and more time collecting revenue from the right taxpayers. Using the portfolio approach, having all taxpayer data easily viewable in a single place to answer questions and address issues, also results in a greater return on investment for leads generated by the system.

Increase Voluntary Compliance
In addition to the detection and recovery of tax gap revenue, the DiscoverTax® data warehouse and integrated decision analytics and business intelligence tools can be used to determine patterns of non-compliance for the development of new taxpayer education and outreach programs. As new taxpayers are registered, letters (based on a risk score) can be sent automatically, welcoming and educating them about their filing requirements. Combined with the effectiveness of targeted initiatives designed to address the tax gap, agencies will see an increase in voluntary compliance levels in future tax years.

Improve Customer Service
DiscoverTax® provides your customer service representatives and enforcement staff with a single repository of information required to answer taxpayer questions and assist them with their compliance issues. All data, including contact information, income sources, returns and payments are available in the taxpayer portfolios and easily accessible using the DiscoverTax® web-based user interface. Additionally, you will improve your relationship with the compliant taxpaying population by reducing erroneous contacts. Compliant taxpayers will applaud your efforts to focus on those that are not “paying their fair share.”

Understand Your Constituents Better
Building a tax data warehouse, complete with portfolios on all individuals and businesses within your jurisdiction, will provide you with valuable information and insights on your taxpayer population. You can detect specific cases of taxpayer non-compliance, as well as patterns of both compliance and non-compliance, by geography, time period, business type and other dimensions. The DiscoverTax® data warehouse provides the foundation for agency-wide advanced business intelligence initiatives including collections and audit predictive modeling, economic analysis and enhanced management reporting.
