Project Description
The objective of this project is to work with the government of El Salvador to identify an incentive structure that will help the country increase its domestic and foreign investment, and rationalize its tax expenditures. The project will work with clients
at the national level of government, including PROESA (El Salvador Export and Investment Promotion Agency), on a work plan that is aligned with the country?s development strategy in the medium and long term. More specifically, the project will use
a
variety
of diagnostic tools to assist the government of El Salvador in understanding how its incentives regime affects its domestic and foreign investment performance in relation to neighboring and competitor countries. The project will help the
client
identify policy
reform priorities and create a reform action plan designed to improve the county's ability to attract, retain and maximize the benefits of investment.
This project is part of a broader regional program on tax simplification
implemented
in Latin America
and the Caribbean in partnership with the Canadian and the Swiss governments.
