2.         Tax evasion and avoidance

3.         Lack of training for the officials of the broad and non-utilization of available information.

4.         Lack of documents.

It also help to know how often tax are collected, the amount received from each individual and property and the total generated.

This project work is organized in chapter with topics and sub topics.

The first chapter of this work introducer the general view of the topic: the objective purpose and scope of the study were also explicitly stated.

The second chapter throws light on the literature

The third chapter deals with the description and analysis of the existing system overview of the existing system also the input, output and process analysis were stated.

The fourth chapter deals with the design of the new system.

The fifth chapter deals with the implementation, here program flowchart were X-drayed there.

The sixth chapter is a documentation of how to run the program and how to have it on the system.

The seventh chapter focuses on the recommendation and conclusion for further studies.
