What kind of ICT systems should we develop?
Systems that help to automate (massive) routine work (sending notifications, entering data etc.) and digitalize paperwork
Systems that reduce administrative burden for clients (reduce face to face contacts, provide more usable (e-)services)
Systems that help us to keep up with new technologies and with developing needs of our clients (services for iPhone, iPad etc.)
7
(Supportive) Systems that help us to develop new ICT systems CRM (customer relationship
management) system - system where front-line staff marks information about face to face contacts
RITA – system where all operative level officials mark their daily worktime (also social time, vacations etc.)

Where do we spend our human resource?
10
Pre- and post-notification system IRIS (1)
Is being developed at the moment Notifies about coming tax return/payment date or
about problems (mistake in tax return, tax debt) Goal is to reduce back office work (start managing
problems before they appear) System is semi-automatic (officials have to step in
only in certain stages for example to create administrative act)
11
Pre- and post-notification system IRIS (2)
If taxpayer does not respond to notification post-measures (blocking bank account/fines) are used
All documents in IRIS are created digitally and sent to taxpayer via e-Tax Board (if client does not have e-Tax Board account we print it out and send by post)
Digitalization saves approximately 60 000€ in a year (expense on post and work time)
12
What to keep in mind while developing?
We develop systems in areas where we spend significant amount of human resource (supervision of tax returns, back office works)
Developing ICT systems needs clear concept about the future work process
ICT only supports our processes and work (first design process and then think if/how ICT can help you). Sometimes you only need to change work distribution/concept
13
Future plans Clients (e-)mailbox in e-Tax Board (100% electronic
communiction), first steps are made in IRIS Services for mobile phone (sumission of Personal
Income Tax Return, e-Tax Board platform for smartphones, iPads) We already have customized some public queries (tax
debt, VAT nr) for mobiles: https://apps.emta.ee/e-service/doc/i0301.xsql
