Taxpayers respect a business-like
approach. You enhance the image of government by
increasing management
efficiency.
There may be no additional cost to you, because the
fee is usually offset by the increased revenue that is
identified by the process.
You achieve additional future revenue benefits
as a result of increased understanding by your
staff and through improved compliance by business constituents.
