The ICTD is now in a position to fund new research proposals on tax and development.
We welcome all proposals that are potentially policy-relevant and relate to either:
- Tax and development issues in sub-Saharan Africa, especially: property tax; informal/non-state taxation; tax compliance; the taxation of tobacco, agriculture, small (women’s) businesses and international economic transactions; equity and taxation; strengthening accountability in and through taxation; and the links between tax revenue and public services.
- The taxation of wealthy people (High net worth individuals) in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
- The implications of digitalisation for revenue raising and tax administration in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
We particularly welcome proposals from African researchers that will also help build tax research capacity in Africa, especially within tax administrations and ministries of finance.
