19 Australia improved access to credit information by amending its regulatory framework Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 The Act came into effect on December 12, 2012 and amends the Privacy Act It updates the previous provisions to more effectively address developments in the operation of the credit reporting system since It permits credit bureaus to collect account payment history with improved privacy protection. It also introduces provisions on a new credit reporting code (called the CR code) which will replace the current Credit Reporting Code of Conduct. Improved legal framework (to be implemented within 15 month of the Royal Assent on March 12, 2014) The new Act will allow for a more accurate assessment of an individual's creditworthiness and therefore likely lower the levels of indebtedness. 19
20 Hong Kong and Australia have implemented the majority of good practices in Paying Taxes Electronic filing and payment (76 economies) Australia; Hong Kong, SAR, China; Colombia; Greece; India; Lithuania; Malta; Mauritius; Tunisia One tax per tax base (55 economies) Hong Kong SAR, China; FYR Macedonia; Namibia; Paraguay; United Kingdom Self-assessment (160 economies) Australia; Hong Kong, SAR, China; Argentina; Canada; China; Rwanda; Sri Lanka; Turkey 20
21 Hong Kong and Australia have implemented the majority of good practices in Dealing with construction permits Hong Kong SAR, China Georgia Singapore Bahrain United Arab Emirates St. Vincent and the Grenadines Taiwan, China Denmark Grenada Australia 21 Global good practices Risk-based systems Australia has comprehensive classifications of building categories and risks based on size and use. Their systems have proved quite successful over the years. Privatizing Inspections Since 2010 in Australia, principal certifying authorities can accredit professionals from various backgrounds including engineers, planners and building and land surveyors to serve as inspectors. In addition, the Building Professionals Board became responsible for accrediting, regulating and enforcing actions against certified inspectors. One-stop shops In 2008, Hong Kong established a One Stop Centre for Warehouse Construction Permits for receiving all relevant building license applications from 6 government departments and 2 private utilities (i.e. telephone line and electricity supply). 21
22 Main findings of case studies on the Republic of Korea Improving court efficiency: the Republic of Korea s e-court experience Savings from the implementation of e-court systems can be substantial and result from a reduction in the use of paper, less time spent in court, less need for storage space and easier archiving of documents and a general streamlining of processes and services. Korea was a pioneer in using electronic features to streamline court processes, launching electronic case management in the mid-1980s. The electronic case filing system allows for electronic filing of civil, commercial, administrative and family-affairs cases and will soon integrate insolvency cases, and by June 2013 almost half of civil cases were e-filed. 22
23 Malaysia: implementing electronic tax filing and payments By 2012, 76 of the economies measured by Doing Business had fully implemented electronic tax filing and payment systems. Since 2006 e-filing usage has jumped among individuals and companies in Malaysia The case study of Malaysia s experience, modernizing manual tax filing and payment and moving to a paperless online system, shows the opportunities that technology can provide to taxpayers and governments as well as the challenges that may emerge during the transition. In 2004 Malaysia s Inland Revenue Board (IRB) spearheaded an initiative to implement a system for filing and paying taxes that would promote electronic, paperless transactions. Tax systems in developing economies, like those in more developed ones, face both new challenges and new possibilities as a result of technological change. Malaysia s electronic filing system has eased compliance with tax obligations for businesses IRB encountered several implementation challenges, key among them the public s initial reluctance to use the new system. So IRB increased its promotion efforts, upgraded the system and hired workers to show taxpayers how to use it. The number of individuals and companies using e-filing jumped from 5% of active filers in 2006 to 37% in The time that businesses need to comply with Malaysia s tax regulations fell from 190 hours in 2004 to 133 in 2012 as measured by Doing Business. 23
