With governments facing tight budget constraints, tax and revenue agencies are looking for solutions that increase revenue collections without raising taxes.

Oracle Enterprise Taxation and Policy Management solution is designed to allow Government to efficiently and effectively administer taxes on behalf of its constituents. Working together, CACS-G and Oracle Enterprise Taxation and Policy Management can enable governments to better support its citizens, quickly add new services and deliver critical revenue in these challenging times. CGI has completed implementation of Oracle Enterprise Taxation and Policy Management for one customer and is currently implementing this solution for three additional customers.
