    Acknowledgments

    This comparative analysis report, the third in the series, is part of an Asian Development Bank (ADB) regional capacity development technical assistance project for Strengthening Tax Policy and Administration Capacity to Mobilize Domestic Resources, which was approved in November 2016, with funding provided by the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction.

    The initial edition of this report was published by ADB in April 2014, covering fiscal year performance-related data to end of 2011 for national revenue bodies in 22 economies in Asia and the Pacific. A second edition was published in 2016, including similar data for 21 economies up to end of 2013. For both editions, ADB was supported by the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) through the provision of survey data from revenue bodies that form part of its Tax Administration Series and that are also included in ADB’s report.

    Throughout 2015, the OECD collaborated with the Inter-American Centre of Tax Administrations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Intra-European Organisation of Tax Administrations to develop a common survey framework—the International Survey on Revenue Administration. This new survey framework standardized terminology and requirements for capturing global tax administration performance information. Survey data was captured using the IMF’s Revenue Administration Information Tool.

    For this series, ADB adopted the International Survey on Revenue Administrations survey instrument, although a small number of questions were removed to ease the reporting burden of participating revenue bodies and to encourage participation from a larger number of revenue bodies in ADB member economies. As a result, the report provides comparative data from revenue bodies in 28 economies in Asia and the Pacific.

    The authors wish to thank the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration of the OECD and the Fiscal Affairs Department of the IMF for assisting the completion of this series by sharing survey data from a number of economies that are included in the OECD comparative information series, Tax Administration 2017, and/or captured by the IMF’s Revenue Administration Fiscal Information Tool. These economies are Australia; Hong Kong, China; India; Indonesia; Japan; Malaysia; Maldives; Myanmar; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; the People’s Republic of China; the Republic of Korea; and Singapore.

    ADB also acknowledges the cooperation and assistance from revenue bodies in Afghanistan; Bangladesh; Bhutan; Brunei Darussalam; Cambodia; the Kyrgyz Republic; the Lao People’s Democratic Republic; Kazakhstan; Mongolia; Nepal; the Philippines; Taipei, China; Tajikistan; Thailand; and Viet Nam.

    This series was prepared by Richard Highfield, a contracted consultant advisor in international tax administration engaged by ADB. The officer responsible for this project is Yuji Miyaki, who can be contacted by telephone at +63 2 683 1864, or by e-mail at ymiyaki@adb.org.
