“According to them they have 90% of their filing done online with only 10% who are not involved and I think we have to emulate that. We have to improve upon our electronic system to catch-up with them.”
She added, “Based on what we have heard and what we seen we can put all these applications on our mobile phones and them use them; like e-filing, apps on mobile like Registrar General we can have our e-registrar application on our mobile phones so wherever you are you can file your returns, you can register your business irrespective of where you are.”
