II. Background
The Ministry of Finance of Timor-Leste is the central body of the Government responsible for the areas of annual planning and monitoring, budget and finance. It is mandated to undertake functions related to macroeconomic policy (in collaboration with the Central Bank) and to propose policies and draft laws and regulations on tax and non-tax revenues.
The MoF is embarking on an ambitious Fiscal Reform Program with a key objective to broaden the government’s revenue base through the transformation of the taxation system. Timor-Leste is aligned in this regard with international community initiatives and its support to countries to strengthen their tax systems to better mobilise domestic revenues needed to provide citizens with essential goods and services in a sustainable and economically sound way.
Within the Fiscal Reform Program, the Business Analyst is seen as a key role to assist the MoF in designing and documenting workflows that will enhance the operational effectiveness of the tax administration reforms, particularly as they relate to the Government Portals and the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS).
Whilst the Business Analyst will work and report directly to the Fiscal Reform Program, the Analyst will consult closely with the ISU and be expected to embed their skills in the ISU and business units to enable the sustainability of the analyst function within MoF.
