SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 18. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Government Council of the Canary Islands authorized this Thursday a multi-year expenditure of 20.7 million euros to finance the “acquisition, migration, implementation, start-up and maintenance of a Tax and Income Management System” of the Agency Canary Islands Tax Agency (ATC).
The agreement will allow the modernization of the agency, as it is a comprehensive system that includes both internal management and a great advance in communication with taxpayers through the electronic headquarters.
The new system will be financed with resources from the FEDER 2021-2027 operating program and is part of the Canary Islands Tax Agency 4.0 digital transformation plan, which is constituted as strategic objective 3 of the management contract of the Canary Islands Tax Agency for the financial year 22-24, details the Executive in a note.
This contract aims to satisfy the fundamental need to promote a profound change in the ATC management model that allows the effective implementation of a fully electronic and digital organizational model, oriented towards taxpayers, resolving the current limitations to be able to carry out, effectively and efficiently, the powers derived from the necessary deepening of the agency model established for the management of the Canary Islands tax system.
In line with the potential that new technologies offer in the field of tax administrations, this project aims to optimize the possibilities that new technologies present, in particular, in the field of the fight against fraud and tax evasion and information and assistance to taxpayers, in order to convert the entity into a 21st century administration.
This plan, which now gains new impetus with the authorization of spending, constitutes one of the strategic objectives contained in the ATC Management Contract approved by the Government of the Canary Islands, specifically ‘Strategic Objective 3: Promote the digital transformation of the ATC ‘.
