forecasting that underpins the calculation of the budget allotments against which
the commitment are issued, undermines the efficiency of the commitment control
system. The task is further extended to 2013.
Expansion of the TSA to include all the banks: funds channeled through the TSA
have increased, but a number of donor accounts are still outside of the TSA
coverage.
Outcomes
The following outcomes are expected to be achieved:
Commitment control and cash management are integrated thereby ensuring that
cash is available for payment.
Coverage of existing TSA is improved.
Outputs
TA report including recommendations on how to link commitments to available
cash and how to avoid the buildup of arrears.
TA on how to extend the scope of the TSA to include all donors’ accounts.
Risks/Assumptions
It is assumed that the diplomatic sanctions of the past, which halted reforms, are absent
and that a proper budget framework that would enhance transparency and accountability
exists.
Security concerns, capacity constraints and shortfalls in donor aid, mainly from the Arab
League countries, would remain the main risks.

Past Activities
Along with several other donors, particularly the EU, FAD has provided strategic advice
on reforms and measures to address fundamental weaknesses in the organization and
operations of the West Bank and Gaza tax administration. The July 2003 FAD mission
highlighted the importance of changing practices in the areas of assessment, compliance,
taxpayer relations, and IT. The mission recommended improvements to income tax
administration through the introduction of self-assessment and the establishment of
regional LTOs.
