tax bureau

Government collection office

A tax bureau is a government agency responsible for administering tax laws, collecting revenue, and enforcing compliance.

The term appears more commonly in some countries than others—the United States has the Internal Revenue Service rather than a tax bureau, while other nations use the term directly: The state tax bureau opened an investigation into the company's filings.
