Statement of Intent 2008-11: Part three - Strategic overview

Our Outcomes

Our outcomes contribute to the achievement of the Government's priorities, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2
Inland Revenues contribution to government priorities
Government priorities Inland Revenue contributes by:
  • Economic transformation
  • National identity
  • providing government with advice, with The Treasury, on the design of the tax system
  • administering tax and social policy legislation efficiently and effectively
  • collecting revenue and payments to fund government programmes and services.
  • Families, young and old
  • Administering social support programmes to ensure people can participate in society.

We are also focused on the advancement of the Government's sustainability objective, which is discussed earlier in the Environment section.

To achieve our outcomes, we must identify the results we want and set out a plan to achieve them. Inland Revenue's five year business plan, "Our Way Forward," sets out a strategic direction and a desired future. This establishes an integrated framework for directing compliance-focused activities and developing capability and infrastructure. The corporate strategies link into the strategic direction and help us to implement particular initiatives and activities and also focus the development of our capabilities (including our people and information technology).

Taken collectively the strategic direction and corporate strategies set out the objectives that will help us achieve our outcomes over the coming five years. Figure 3 shows how these combine to achieve the Government's priorities and our outcomes.
