TADAT assessments focus on the administration of the following core taxes:
- Goods and Services Tax (GST)
- Corporate Income Tax (CIT)
- Personal Income Tax (PIT)
- Pay As You Earn Amounts (PAYE)

Target Audience:

- The scoring methodology for each of the performance areas and indicators based on the TADAT Field Guide.
- The pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment phases of a TADAT diagnostic.
- How to prepare a quality Performance Assessment Report (PAR).
Practical components:
- Discussion sessions with practice exercises and case studies mimicking real life situations.
- Preparation for participating in an assessment of the participant's own administration during the pre-assessment phase.
Application scope:
- The performance assessment can be used at the national or sub-national system-wide level.
- In large federal countries, regional guided assessments can identify regional variations and specific weaknesses.

A one-hour TADAT online exam is conducted during the workshop.
Certification criteria:
- Those who pass the exam (75 percent correct response) will receive a TADAT certificate.
