Developing Vehicles Duty Payment and Tracking System for the Nigerian Custom Service

E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The manual system of custom duty payment in Nigeria is faced with many challenges including multiple registrations issued by various agencies of Government for a single vehicle, creating opportunities for fraud as officers cannot verify the authenticity of documents issued by other agencies. This study designed and implemented a prototype vehicles duty payment system for the Nigerian Custom service using the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM). The system integrated RFID card sensor, QR code reader and unique keypad to log in and access the system for verification and payment status. Results showed that upon deployment, the system synchronized very well with the Nigeria customs database thereby enabling effective enforcement of duty payment regulations. The interface supports efficient monitoring and management of vehicle duty payments which allows customs officers to perform thorough verifications, ensuring that the vehicles comply with customs regulations. By providing real-time access to these details, the system guarantees accuracy and reliability of the duty payment verification process, thereby preventing fraud and ensuring proper documentation before vehicles are cleared at the customs checkpoints. The secure, real-time data retrieval and comparison process further bolsters the system's effectiveness in maintaining compliance and preventing illegal activities. Therefore, by deploying this system for the Nigerian customs service will boost productivity, increase revenue and enhance efficiency of the custom services.
