One way of improving the quality of tax administration might be to take a more strategic approach to tax reform as has already been suggested, for example, in the cases of tax simplification, compliance and taxpayers’ charters. An important part of a strategic approach is measuring outcomes and revisiting the strategy in the light of experience gained. This paper therefore examines performance indicators and some experience of their use in tax administrations. The paper also presents the preliminary results of a new survey relating to performance indicators conducted in the Thai Excise Department. Issues arising so far are the relationship between performance indicators and staff attitudes and specific problems with excise tax collection
