As part of the Smart Nation strategy, the Singapore Government has outlined a clear intention to adopt a more citizen-centric approach when providing public services, using technology and data to provide citizens with customised solutions that improve their lives.
In alignment with this nation-wide strategy, IRAS aims to provide intuitive and convenient digital services to taxpayers, meeting their unique needs. Having achieved a high level of taxpayer satisfaction with simpler tax obligations than other jurisdictions, IRAS is now moving to the next level in delivering best-in-class tax administration services.
At the IRAS Hackathon (2-4 September), you're invited to co-create new solutions with the community and professional experts to deliver taxpayer-centred experiences for SMEs, the self-employed, and individual taxpayers.
Opportunity Areas:
The hackathon will center around the following opportunity areas:
1. Deliver digital services that are convenient and responsive to taxpayers' needs and queries.
2. Anticipate taxpayers' needs and deliver the right level of service or support at the right time.
3. Provide seamless integration of tax preparation and filing with taxpayers' existing systems and life events.
