Challenges

Collecting energy-related or indirect taxes is notoriously complex and time consuming. Many agencies rely on manual processes, which hampers throughput, delays revenue collection, and hinders audit support. For those that do not offer an electronic filing option, tax revenue remains uncollected at a time when government budgets are strained. It is why more than half the states in the U.S. have announced or implemented mandated electronic filing for motor fuels excise taxes.
