Informality and Tax Community of Practice

The Community of Practice on Informality and Tax is a global network of practitioners and scholars committed to improving both knowledge and policy on how tax authorities engage with informal economies. Building on ICTD’s growing body of research and its strong engagement with partners in the field, the Community of Practice will foster peer-to-peer learning, share cutting‑edge evidence, and co‑design practical tools for governments, development partners, and civil‑society groups.

By convening this diverse mix of actors, ICTD hopes to bridge the gaps between evidence, policy design, and implementation on the ground.

Key Areas of Focus include:
• How to better design simplified and presumptive tax schemes
• Revenue authorities’ experiences with digitisation
• Data assessing equity and compliance impacts in markets
