The governance practices of IRBM have been extended to external stakeholders, including the taxpayer community. A key element in strengthening corporate governance is the implementation of Tax Compliance Risk Management. This initiative serves as a strategic control framework that guides the process of identifying, assessing, and managing risks that could potentially affect taxpayer compliance with national tax laws and regulations.
Through the Tax Compliance Risk Management Plan, IRBM coordinates the handling of tax compliance risks in a uniform and systematic manner, ensuring each risk is managed proactively and integrally to minimize negative impacts on the organization.
Key Activities under IRBM Tax Compliance Risk Management:
- Classification of Key Risks
Managing tax compliance risks based on four main categories: Tax File Registration, Submission of Return Forms, Tax Reporting, and Tax Payment.
- Guidance and Capacity Building
Providing guidance to Sectors, Departments, and States in implementing and strengthening tax compliance risk management capabilities.
- Coordination of Implementation
Coordinating risk handling uniformly and systematically through the Tax Compliance Risk Management Plan.
- Compliance Monitoring
Monitoring the level of compliance in risk management activities carried out by process owners and risk owners.
- Standardized Reporting
