The period for presenting proposalsexpires on December 15th, 2012 This annual contest is sponsored by the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations with the purpose to recognize and promote improvement and creativity in the tax administrations. It constitutes concrete evidence of the effect of innovation on their performance that ultimately results in greater public trust. By highlighting exemplary ways of innovative performance of the tax administrations, the Program acts as a catalyst of continuous improvement for satisfying the constant demand faced by tax administrations of finding new and better ways for achieving their institutional objectives. The implementation of new practices in the tax administrations, especially after they reach greater levels of maturity, take into account varied aspects and frequently these practices contribute to improve efficiency, effectiveness and transparency in management.
