Presumptive taxes are one of the most used tools through which tax authorities engage with informal economies. However, until recently, there has been very limited research on their actual performance and impact.
The first webinar for the Informality & Tax Community of Practice brings together three recent studies from across Africa to examine how presumptive taxes are working and what challenges exist – both in terms of equity and efficiency.
Speakers will present new findings and discuss what their implications are for the design and practice of presumptive taxes.
Speakers
- Nelly Busingye, Partnerships and Institutional Learning Manager, Tax Justice Network Africa
- Christopher Hoy, Economist, World Bank
- Hitomi Komatsu, Economist, World Bank
- Alex Kombat, Assistant Commissioner, Research & Policy Unit – Ghana Revenue Authority
- Vanessa van den Boogaard, Research Fellow, ICTD
The webinar will be moderated by Max Gallien, Research Fellow at ICTD.
