Tax Administration Diagnostic Assessment Tool (TADAT). IMF. http://www.tadat.org  

Hosted by the IMF, and currently in the pilot and testing phase, TADAT is expected to be fully launched by mid-2015 and will complement the PEFA programmeby applying a detailed methodology to produce objective, evidence-based assessments and baselines of a tax administration’s performance. The objective is to inform stakeholder dialogue on reform priorities. A TADAT assessment will focus on tax administration outcomes rather than inputs or processes. Nine high-level performance outcome areas will drill down to 27 indicators, including: external oversight of the tax administration; level of internal controls; public perception of integrity of the tax administration; and publication of activities, results and plans.
