Vermont Department of Taxes Selects RSI’s Revenue Premier® for Compliance Modernization Project

November 18, 2011.  Pembroke, MA – Revenue Solutions, Inc. (RSI), a company that specializes in providing revenue and compliance management products and services specifically to federal, state and local government revenue agencies, is pleased to announce that Vermont Department of Taxes (VDT) has selected RSI and Revenue Premier™ for their Compliance Program Modernization. This initiative will provide for the generation of increased tax revenue from tax debtors based on a fully-integrated data warehouse utilizing advanced data mining techniques, statistical selection and scoring, automated assessment technology and improved business intelligence capabilities.

VDT is responsible for collecting over $1.4 Billion in taxes and fees annually.  In an effort to reduce the tax gap in Vermont, VDT requires the ability to compare data from both internal and external data sources for use in the identification of areas of non-compliance and the enforcement of tax laws. The data may be provided by taxpayers on tax returns, obtained from other State agencies, from U.S. government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, or from other external sources.
This Project will become RSI’s twelfth Revenue Premier™ Portfolio Warehouse client. The project entails a five year benefits-funded arrangement between RSI and VDT where RSI will be paid through benefits achieved by the solution. The Portfolio Warehouse implementation, which began in Montpelier, Vermont, in May 2011, will:

• Deliver a robust data warehouse populated with data from a variety of sources, both internal and external to VDT;
• Automate and expand VDT’s individual income tax compliance programs in order to increase revenue through accurate identification of non-filers;
• Improve and automate procedures used to detect fraudulent or erroneous refund requests under VDT’s individual income tax program;
• Integrate data mining and business intelligence tools that will enable VDT to select audit candidates for a more effective and efficient audit program;
• Improve VDT’s collection of accounts receivable by aligning the taxpayer with the most appropriate compliance treatment; and,
• Establish an extensible and scalable platform that will support additional data sources, compliance solutions, and business intelligence functionality as new objectives are identified.

RSI’s scope of work will be performed in phases over the five year period. RSI is looking forward to expanding its relationship and product suite with VDT.
