Aim:The concept paper aims at seeking approval of the Royal Civil Service Commission and management to:1.Implement the competency based framework for tax officers,2.Prioritize training for capacity building based on gaps identified.Background & RationaleThe Royal Civil Service Commission launched a competency based framework (CBF) in August 2018 for civil service incollaboration with Singapore Polytechnic with funding support from Temasek Foundation International, Singapore and the RoyalGovernment of Bhutan. The programme is aimed at strengthening the capacity and capabilities of the civil servants based on their rolespecific competency, to enhance professionalism, growth and development to contribute optimally to nation building.The CBF of the Tax Officers has been developed to further enhance the capacity and capabilities of the tax officers in line withVision, Mission and Objectives of the Department of Revenue & Customs and the Ministry of Finance. The CBF of the Tax Officersincludes 3 Role Profiles, 9 Competency Areas and 23 Competencies. The overview of the framework is attached as figure I. Thus,this document shall: Provide a structured approach/Road-map to build competencies required for the Tax Officers at different Position Levels, Enhance the technical capacity of the tax officers to maximize the organizational performance. Provide greater role clarity and allow Tax Officers to take ownership for continuous professional Development. Guide and ensure optimum utilization of limited resources allocated for Professional Development of Tax Officers,

Output and Process UndertakenThrough a rigorous consultative and inclusive process, the role profiles, competency areas, competencies, behavioral indicators andproficiency levels were developed.Output I. 3 Role Profiles, 3 Competency areas, 23 Competencies and 47 Behaviour Indicators were developed across 4 proficiencylevels and validated from 29th October to 15th November 2019. This was arrived through;1.Literature Reviews2.Identifying key competencies and developing Behavioural Indicators (BIs)3.Presentation to Tax Officers during Tax Meet at RRCO, Bumthang.4.Sought online feedback from Tax Officers across the Regional offices as well as Head OfficeOutput II. A training needs analysis was carried out for the Tax Officers under the Department of Revenue and Customs throughquestionnaires for different proficiency level via online survey conducted from 12th November to 15th November. The findings wereused to;1.Identify the competency gap at different proficiency level.2.Identify the methods of intervention to address it.Accordingly the finding or second draft was presented to the Department at the Annual Revenue Conference held atGelephu for validation and endorsement.RRCO,

Output III.Based on the findings of the TNA, several training/workshops/seminars were identified out of which few wereprioritized for the financial year 2019-2020 as per the instruction of the RCSC. The trainings were prioritized based on:1.Mandatory competency skills.2.Relevant complementary assessment techniques.3.Availability of the training.Evaluation of Current SituationIt was noted that so far there were no specific role profiles developed for Tax officers and till date tax officers performed roles inreference to Generic Job description. The generic job description did not reflect a clear set of competencies and behavioral indicatorsTax Officers were expected to showcase. Further, the training availed by Tax Officers were not necessarily aligned with requiredCompetencies and position levels. Moreover, the roles of tax officers are very complex and require fulfilling the mandates of both aregulator and service provider. Thus, a tax official of the Department requires competencies in both the areas to effectively collectrevenue and deliver services to the public.Key RecommendationsThe following are the key recommendations based on the exercise carried out:1.Introduction of Introductory course on Income Tax Laws of Bhutan, relevant Accounting Standards and AuditingTechniques atfoundation level.2.Training to be focused on building competencies in financial statement analysis, assessment technique, and soft skills.

3.Department to give more focus on Digital transformation to be able to stay abreast of technology development and ITsolutions.ConclusionThis framework is designed to guide and assist Tax Officers to plan a career they aspire to. It is important for each individual to beaware of the observable Competencies expected of them and develop themselves through stages of expertise from foundation level toadvance level. It also inculcates integrity and responsibility as a civil servant, and builds a positive attitude in the discharge of service.This document will help the Department to prioritize and implement methods of interventions to address the competency gap withinthe 12th Five Year Plan. Appropriate training and workshops can be given seeking financial and human resources to implement theseinterventions. The Department may also pilot mentoring programs to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of assessing officials.Overview of the Department of Revenue & CustomsVision:Contribute to nation building through the development of an effective revenue system.Mission:To ensure that the Tax and Customs administration has the capacity to collect taxes efficiently and effectively at minimum costthrough impartial and consistent enforcement of regulations, and to provide a convenient and honest service to the taxpayersValues: Integrity Objectivity Transparency
