Taxing wealth in lower income countries

In the face of declining aid volumes and mounting debt and climate crises, low-income countries are under increasing pressure to raise more domestic revenue. With these countries already experiencing higher levels of wealth and income inequality than high-income nations, there is a compelling case for targeting tax mobilisation efforts at wealthy individuals, who often contribute proportionally less than the average citizen.

By presenting research recently conducted and supported by ICTD, the Lahore University of Management Sciences, African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA), this webinar will examine how to identify the most pressing legal, administrative, and political barriers, what revenue authorities can do to begin overcoming them, and how to increase popular support for these reforms.
