Introduction of KS Collect
After detailed analysis and continuous efforts, KS Infosystems came up with a technology that simplifies numbers, raises government revenue and lowers expenditures – the KS Collect software.
Whether it is the government or an individual, people would be sure about the rate and amount of tax they are supposed to pay. And when there is certainty, there is trust; which further brings credibility into the system.
Things become clearer by understanding the framework of tax collection. The ambiguity associated with tax rates no longer exists. This helps in creating the right business environment, while maintaining security standards and simplifying logistics issues.

Auditing becomes easier as departments have 24*7 access to records of payments. This stops revenue leakage and increases precision of audit central systems. - Up-to-Date information with Real-time reports
The application is online and the database is available at a centralised server i.e. there is one-single database. Therefore, one gets up-to-date information as the system offers the ability to watch data flow into the database in real time. This improves reporting capability, and promotes an effective monitoring and supervising system. - Security of data and finance

This enables effective tracking of postings of collections and revenue monitoring by target wise/actual collections. - Resource Planning
Helps in resource savings when dealing with a growing market during peak load periods i.e. at the start of special events which can attract mass collection. - Backup and Restoring
Regular backup helps to protect data from theft, physical damage and computer viruses and malware. Thus, records will be more protected than in a file-based system. System can be restored if the need arises. - Future Ready System
It provides a technical base to further expand online services and develops core knowledge and expertise to help move forward. - Case studies Democratic Republic of the Congo
Administered in the Kananga province of Democratic Republic of the Congo, where 60 types of taxes were collected with the help of DJRKOK. With built-in calculation methods, employment of door-to-door collection agents, precise database of taxpayers and revenue collected was available. This led to a 200% increment in the tax collected. - The Republic of Benin
KS Collect was applied at the CococoDji Market in Benin. Smart ID Cards were issued to all the shops and owners registered. At the end of the day, the system alerted about the total tax collected and the number of defaulters. This led to revenue enhancement of the municipality and identification of the total number assets that the municipality owned in the markets.
