Computerized Process for Applying and Paying for Stamp Duty: Case Study of Federal Inland Revenue Service Ikot Ekpene

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this Research is to develop a computerized process of applying for and paying for stamp duty. A case study of Federal Inland Revenue Service Ikot Ekpene. The study critically analyses the manual method of collecting stamp duty in Nigeria and uses ideas so gathered to design a new program (Electronic Stamp Duty Payment System) for use by the Tax Administrators in Federal Inland Revenue Services, Credit Officers in the bank, insurance companies, hire purchase companies, taxpayers/clients e.t.c. from anywhere across the country for payment of stamp duty. The new program allows the Admin to login, create instrument type, verify declared instrument, authenticate a document, generate stamp certificate, view property status of instrument and generate account report, allows the clients to login, create account, declare instrument, make payment, track instrument declaration status, view property status of instrument and apply for duplicate certificate. The system will be analyzed and designed using object oriented analysis and design methodology. It will be implemented in java using eclipse development environment IDE. Other tools used for the application are unified modeling language tool (UML) for analysis and design, HTML, CSS and mySQL database management system for permanent storage of application data.
