With the continuous upgrading of the functions on the BRITACOM and the BRITA · Yangzhou websites, as well as the strengthening of the construction of the curriculum system and the improvement of the quality of the course videos on the basis of the continuous concluding from the BRITACEG’s previous experience, the online training of the BRITACEG in the period of 2022-2024 has yielded significant results and the number of participants in the training had been on steady increase.

After the training, the BRITACEG will invite participants to fill in the training program questionnaire, and the BRITACEG Office will collect and collate the feedback, learn the concerns of the participants, answer the questions in time, and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of the training.

Continuous Course Optimization

In 2022, the online elementary-level courses offered by the BRITACEG on four topics, including“ Tax Dispute Resolution, Value-added Tax (VAT) Reform, Digitalization of Tax Administration, and Tax Service,” successfully concluded at the end of April. In mid-September, the BRITACEG organized some teachers to prepare and record corresponding intermediate-level courses, which were launched online. Based on the analysis of the questionnaire data, the BRITACEG sorted out and summarized its shortcomings such as lack of experience in producing online courses and conducting training, laying a solid foundation for the BRITACEG’s online training work in the future.

In 2023, with the release of the Curriculum System Version 1.0, the BRITACEG organized its lecturers and invited nearly 100 tax experts from over 10 jurisdictions and international organizations to participate in recording course videos. The BRITACEG designed video intros, standardized the course recording process and criteria, and strictly controlled content reviews to create uniform-styled and professionally highlighted video courses of the BRITACEG. A total of 65 courses were fully launched online, and 30 online training sessions were initiated on topics such as“ Goods and Services Tax” and“ Income Tax”, which were warmly welcomed by tax officials from various regions.

In 2024, the BRITACEG organized some lecturers again and invited professors and experts from universities to discuss and research, aiming to dynamically update and optimize the curriculum system, including continuously updating and adjusting policy citations and the latest cutting-edge achievements, simplifying theoretical content that was repeatedly taught in different courses, and consolidating courses that mainly focused on specific operational practices in a certain country (region) to illustrate its tax policy theory into a unified national practice sharing category, increasing relevant theoretical knowledge based on international acceptance and recognition. After integration and optimization, the content structure of the BRITACEG’s curriculum system became more scientific and reasonable, and the quality of the courses was further improved. Additionally, The BRITACEG has equipped the optimized courses with English subtitles to expand their applicability and provide more resources for building tax collection and administration capabilities in relevant jurisdictions.
