TYPE OF RESISTORS
MEASURES TO OVERCOME RESISTANCE

A proper check system should be developed to monitor the tax submission activities of tax payers so that they cannot understate their tax liability. Employees should be empowered to take volunteer decision but with accountability check, which will help to pursue the main objective of the organization. Monitory rewards, perks and other benefits should be offered on performing up to the standards set by the organization. Complete career path should be designed to motivate employees. Technology alternatives and back-up systems should be developed that can be used in the case of uncertainty. Regular employee training and skill improvement programs should be organized to assist employees. Work-shops and seminars should be organized to celebrate best performances which will help employees to work hard consistently to achieve goals and objectives.
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Universal Self Assessment Scheme Officers are not allocated at proper places There is no sign of career planning Motivation level in employees is low Mind set of high officials is not changed. There is an inefficient use of technology There is no improvement due to no competition Discrimination factor is generated due to jurisdiction flaw. Apparently cosmetic level change
RECOMMENDATIONS
Due to self assessment scheme extra latitude has been given to taxpayers Proper allocation of duties and responsibilities Proper career path should be clearly defined to motivate employees More perks, incentives and monetary benefits should be awarded Seminars should be arranged to educate and train high officials Periodically monitoring employees who are directly interacting with technology
Inter- department competition programs The commissioner of tax collection should not be told about the identity of their taxpayers
BENEFITS TO WHOM
Tax payer Government
