This collaboration aims to achieve several strategic goals, including establishing electronic linkage between systems for data exchange through application programming interfaces. It also defines each party's main roles and tasks to ensure business continuity and deliver high-quality services. Maintaining accurate data and facilitating data exchange are key components of this initiative.

The MOJ and FTA emphasised that this partnership aligns with their institutional needs by enhancing capacity and improving customer satisfaction. Both parties stressed supporting initiatives that align with their strategic objectives. They aim to integrate records and streamline tax-related processes efficiently.

This joint effort is designed to meet institutional and strategic requirements while boosting customer satisfaction. By supporting relevant initiatives, both organisations aim to enhance their institutional capacity further. The collaboration seeks to maintain updated, integrated data while expediting tax-related processes.
