Webinar on Information Technology for Property Taxation

The ICTD’s African Property Tax Initiative (APTI) in partnership with the  African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) brings to you the second webinar series that seeks to explore the challenges of implementing new Information technology (IT) systems and present experiences from four countries: Nigeria, Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire, and Benin.

IT holds great potential for improving property taxation: it can help accelerate property identification, digitalise and automate aspects of property valuation, facilitate payments by taxpayers, improve transparency, and strengthen data management. The discussions will feature researchers and tax officials who will explore various tools and strategies for improving reform outcomes.  

This is part of a series of webinars that leads up to ATAF’s 6th African Tax Research Network (ATRN) Congress scheduled to take place from 6-8 September 2021 in Nairobi, Kenya, and/or virtually via Zoom subject to health restrictions. This year’s Congress is on the theme “Maximising property tax revenues through digitalisation,” and there is currently an open call for papers. See the details here and submit your paper by 5 June 2021.  

This event will be held on Zoom, with simultaneous translation between English, French and Portuguese. Register in advance to receive the Zoom invitation link to join online.  For more information on how to register for this webinar, please click here.
