  4. Enhance Taxpayer Service: Improve the quality of taxpayer service by providing timely and accurate responses to taxpayer inquiries, and by resolving taxpayer complaints efficiently.
  5. Strengthen Taxpayer Audits: Conduct regular and targeted audits to detect and prevent tax evasion, and to ensure that taxpayers are paying the correct amount of tax.
  6. Increase Penalties for Non-Compliance: Introduce or increase penalties for taxpayers who fail to comply with tax laws and regulations, to deter non-compliance and encourage voluntary compliance.
  7. Implement Electronic Filing and Payment: Implement electronic filing and payment systems to reduce the administrative burden on taxpayers and to improve the efficiency of tax collection.
  8. Collaborate with Employers: Work closely with employers to ensure that they are deducting and remitting PAYE taxes correctly, and to identify and address any issues or errors.
  9. Use Data Analytics: Use data analytics and data mining techniques to identify patterns and trends in tax compliance, and to target non-compliant taxpayers for audit and enforcement.
  10. Provide Incentives for Compliance: Offer incentives to taxpayers who comply with tax laws and regulations, such as reduced penalties or interest, or special treatment for taxpayers who file their tax returns on time.
  11. Strengthen Taxpayer Registration: Implement a robust taxpayer registration system to ensure that all taxpayers are registered and that their tax obligations are accurately recorded.
  12. Increase Taxpayer Engagement: Engage with taxpayers through regular meetings, surveys, and feedback mechanisms to understand their concerns and to improve the tax compliance process.
  13. Provide Taxpayer Support: Provide taxpayer support services, such as tax advice and guidance, to help taxpayers understand their tax obligations and to resolve any issues or disputes.
  14. Implement Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN): Implement a TIN system to uniquely identify taxpayers and to track their tax compliance history.
  15. Strengthen Tax Administration: Strengthen the tax administration by providing adequate resources, including funding, personnel, and technology, to support the tax compliance process.
