Publications

ICTD publications bring together our latest research on tax and development, offering evidence-based insights through rigorous research outputs. These include journal articles and two in-house paper series in which every submission undergoes two independent single-blind peer reviews. Complementing these scholarly outputs, policy briefs and partner publications make this research accessible and relevant to policymakers, practitioners, civil society organisations and other audiences engaged in tax reform. Grounded in strong empirical analysis and deep contextual knowledge, this body of work reflects ICTD’s commitment to producing research that informs policy and supports more effective and equitable tax systems.
