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.
