Review of the Department of Revenue's General Tax Administration Program Based on Performance-Based Budgeting Measures and Standards for Fiscal Year 1996-97

Report 97-48, February 1998




Report Summary

  • Based on performance-based program budgeting measures, the General Tax Administration Program has achieved better results from its taxpayer education and assistance activities and has become more efficient in processing tax returns and payments.
  • However, involuntary collections declined by 9.5% from Fiscal Year 1995-96 to Fiscal Year 1996-97 primarily due to a decline in performance of some collections and compliance enforcement activities.
  • Changes to the program's performance-based program budget measures have enhanced their usefulness. However, some additional modifications are needed to provide the Legislature with more meaningful information.
