### Target audience and qualifications
- Target audience: Participants who hold a position at the middle management level or higher in a federal revenue administration.
- Qualifications: Participants should have at least 5 years' experience in a federal revenue administration at the middle management level.

### Course description and scope
- The Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT) provides a 360-degree diagnostic of the performance of a tax administration using nine performance areas and 28 indicators.
- 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)
- By assessing outcomes in relation to the administration of these core taxes, a picture can be developed of the relative strengths and weaknesses of a country's tax administration system.

### Workshop structure and content
- The training workshop is presented by the TADAT Secretariat and consists of:
  - (i) the design principle and purpose of TADAT;
  - (ii) the scoring methodology for each of the performance areas and indicators based on the TADAT Field Guide;
  - (iii) the pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment phases of a TADAT diagnostic; and
  - (iv) how to prepare a quality Performance Assessment Report (PAR).
- The workshop includes discussion sessions where practice exercises and case studies mimicking real life situations are discussed.
- Assessment component:
  - A one-hour TADAT online exam is conducted.
  - Passing requirement: 75 percent correct response.
  - Those who pass the exam will receive a TADAT certificate.

### Course objectives
- Upon completion of the workshop participants will be able to:
  - Understand the detailed methodology for conducting TADAT assessments; and
  - Apply TADAT either as an internal benchmarking tool in their own administration or be invited to do peer-to-peer review for other jurisdictions.
