Indian tax administration machinary is probably the most corrupt in the world. Such corruption leads to harassment of the tax payers and leakage of revenue. To curb this menace certain functions needs to be identified which can be privatised.
It has been experienced in the Income Tax that privatisation of PAN application procedure has led to lesser harassment to the assessee, which has resulted into greater tax compliance. The endeavour should be to locate more and more area which can be privatised.
I suggest that routine procedure like- application of registration and issuance of registration certificate and receipt of periodical return and othet communications received from the assessee can easily be privatised. It will reduce harassemnt of honest tax payers and improve the voluntary compliance of tax.
