Project Description
The project assists client countries in increasing their levels of tax
transparency through strengthened tax administration, improved legal
frameworks, and development of the ability to collect and exchange
adequate and meaningful tax information. It produces a toolkit, two
research notes, an analytical report, and two or three learning events.
The objective is for governments to: 1) more accurately distinguish
between tax evasion and tax avoidance; 2) have the mechanism to collect,
adjudicate, store, and exchange information on taxpayers; and 3) improve
the climate for investment through greater transparency. The project also
provides assistance to countries undergoing peer assessments conducted by
the Global Forum on Exchange of Information and Tax Transparency.
