About the Addis Tax Initiative

In the spirit of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, the countries subscribing to the Addis Tax Initiative declare their commitment to enhance the mobilisation and effective use of domestic revenues and to improve the fairness, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness of their tax systems. Participants commit to step up efforts as specified below:

• Participating providers of international support will collectively double their technical cooperation in the area of domestic revenue mobilisation / taxation by 2020;
• Partner countries restate their commitment to step up domestic revenue mobilisation as a key means of implementation for attaining the SDGs and inclusive development; and
• All countries restate their commitment to ensure Policy Coherence for Development.

In addition to broad-based capacity building, participating providers of international support stand ready to expand cooperation in the following areas:

• Enabling partner countries to take advantage of the progress made on the international tax agenda, such as the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project and tax information exchange including Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI);
• Integrating partner countries into the global tax debate; and
• Improving taxation and management of revenue from natural resources.

Background

The Addis Tax Initiative was initiated by the governments of Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The initiative was launched in the course of the 3^rd Financing for Development Conference in Addis Ababa in 2015. It intends to generate substantially more resources for capacity building in the field of domestic revenue mobilisation / taxation as well as more ownership and commitment for the establishment of transparent, fair and efficient tax systems.

International Support to Domestic Resource Mobilisation –
Launch of the Addis Tax Initiative,
Side Event at the 3rd UN Financing for Development Conference,
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia / 15 July 2015

Domestic Resource Mobilisation (DRM) was defined by the international community as a main topic of the 3rd Financing for Development Conference. To demonstrate shared commitment, more than 30 countries and international organisations have jointly announced the Addis Tax Initiative built on the principles of shared responsibility and mutual accountability. Visit ITC page: Side Event „International Support to Domestic Resource Mobilisation – Launch of the Addis Tax Initiative”

Role of the ATI

What the Addis Tax Initiative will do:

• Play a coordinating role to monitor and report on the commitments made under the Initiative.
• Maintain the network of countries and international organisations that joined the Addis Tax Initiative.
• Monitor that the specific points mentioned in the declaration are addressed, i.e. that partner countries receive the desired support for capacity building in international tax issues (incl. BEPS and AEoI), that they get access to the international tax dialogue and that south-south cooperation is facilitated.
• Facilitate donor coordination by making available its network and through sharing of information. International organisations and ‘lead’ donors active in partner countries are encouraged to use the Addis Tax Initiative network to seek the participation of other donors for elements of DRM programmes for which they seek additional support or to alert other donors on areas identified as necessary but which they themselves cannot take up.
• Maintain a website with information on the Addis Tax Initiative.

What the Addis Tax Initiative will not do:

• Conduct detailed verification of data provided by donor countries
• Pro-actively undertake donor coordination
• Initiate or implement programmes, which will remain the responsibility of the participating countries and/or international organisations.

FAQ

• Q: What is the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) is a multi-stakeholder partnership in capacity building in the area of domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) that assembles more than 40 countries and organisations, committed to step up their efforts to enhance DRM in partner countries.

• Q: What is the aim of the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) aims to enable partner countries to more effectively mobilise their own resources for financing development and attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – by increasing technical assistance and by stepping up efforts to enhance domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) as well as to ensure policy coherence for development. All countries subscribing to the ATI declare their commitment to enhance the mobilisation and effective use of domestic resources and to improve the fairness, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness of their tax systems.

• Q: How does the Addis Tax Initiative work?

  A: The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) assembles more than 40 countries and organisations, committed to enhance domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) in partner countries, in a broad, international network.
  ATI partner countries might use this network to reach out to development partners with requests for technical assistance to enhance DRM, or for support in undertaking a TADAT assessment. Development partners might address the network to look for co-financing or for partners with which to organise joint activities.
  The ATI itself does not have own funds to initiate programmes in partner countries. Also, the coordination of technical co-operation at country level remains the responsibility of partner countries.

  The ATI network provides the opportunity to enhance coordination among providers of development assistance. For that purpose, in a first step, a database of technical assistance projects in the area of DRM will be provided on the ATI website. Also, a catalogue of technical assistance in the area of DRM available to partner countries will be compiled and provided online. Guidelines and studies to support coordination efforts in the area of DRM will be prepared if needed.

  The annual monitoring report will look at the progress made against meeting the ATI commitments. It will provide all ATI signatories with the chance to elaborate on their progress, contribute best practices and lessons learnt as well as to provide an outlook on their future activities. For details on the monitoring of the ATI, please refer to the ATI monitoring framework.

• Q: Who can participate in the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: All countries that:

  1. provide development assistance to enhance domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) in partner countries,
  2. and/or are interested in receiving technical assistance for enhancing DRM in their country,
  3. and are willing to sign up to the ATI Declaration,

  can join the Addis Tax Initiative as ATI signatories and are invited to do so.

  International organisations that provide Official Development Assistance (ODA)-funded technical assistance in the area of domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) in partner countries and that endorse the objectives of the ATI can join the Addis Tax Initiative as supporting organisations.

• Q: What are the benefits of participating in the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI)?

  A: ATI partner countries benefit from:

  • signalling their strong interest in receiving technical assistance on domestic resource mobilisation (DRM), allowing potential development partners to offer assistance without having to first receive an official request;
  • national commitment to undertaking DRM reforms at the highest level;
  • connecting with a broad, international network of providers of development assistance in the area of DRM;
  • enhanced coordination and coherence of development partners;
  • assistance in finding support to undertake a TADAT assessment.

  ATI development partners and supporting organisations benefit from:

  • connecting with a broad, international network of development partners active in the area of domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) as well as partner countries committed to step up DRM in their countries;
  • enhanced coordination among development partners, including international organisations and south-south co-operation initiatives;
  • sharing good practices and lessons learnt through the annual ATI monitoring report and regular consultations;
  • showcasing the results of their development assistance through an online database that will be the world’s leading source of information on DRM capacity building activities;
  • circulating information on and contributing to other DRM-related initiatives of relevance to the ATI.

  ATI membership is not a prerequisite for partner countries to receive technical assistance, nor does it imply preferential treatment from ATI development partners. Giving up tax exemptions under Official Development Assistance (ODA) in partner countries is also not part of the scope of the ATI declaration.

• Q: By joining the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI), do ATI partner countries automatically receive (more) DRM assistance?

  A: No. Joining the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) is not a guarantee for (more) development partner-funded DRM support. However, the ATI has been endorsed by more than twenty development partners, which means that by signing up to the ATI, partner countries gain access to a large number of development partners specialised in DRM reforms, which may respond to requests for assistance. The International Tax Compact (ITC) maintains a network of focal points in the ATI signatory countries as well as the supporting organisations that can help obtain support or information when requested.

• Q: What are the implications of signing up to the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: Partner countries that join the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) are effectively subscribing to the principles that are outlined in the ATI Declaration, particularly as regards commitments #2 and #3. Joining the ATI simply signals their support for domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) as a key means of financing their development priorities and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adhering to the ATI does not require meeting specific targets. However, ATI partner countries are encouraged to share their DRM strategy and actively contribute, to the extent possible, with monitoring progress on DRM through the use of national indicators.

  Development partners that sign up to the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) are effectively subscribing to the principles that are outlined in the ATI Declaration, particularly as regards commitments #1 and #3. Development partners commit to report annually their international development assistance that includes DRM, to monitor their progress against commitment #1 (For details, please refer to the ATI monitoring framework). The ATI development partners are also invited to share information on on-going technical assistance projects and the different types of DRM assistance they can provide.
  Giving up tax exemptions under ODA in partner countries is not part of the scope of the ATI Declaration.

  Both ATI partner countries and ATI development partners are included in all official ATI communication and are invited to participate and contribute to ATI activities and discussions. All ATI signatories are encouraged to actively support, present and advocate for the ATI, when possible and relevant.

• Q: Are there any fees or other costs associated with joining the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: No, there are no fees or any other costs associated with joining or being a member of the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI). There might however be financial implications in fulfilling the ATI commitments, e.g. in doubling technical assistance or in stepping up national efforts to enhance domestic revenue mobilisation (DRM).

• Q: What counts as “support for technical cooperation” that ATI development providers are committing to double by signing up to the ATI (commitment 1)?

  A: Support for technical cooperation includes all activities that contribute to domestic resource mobilisation (as defined by the new DRM code 15114, see below) in countries and territories on the DAC List of ODA Recipients (available at oecd.org/dac/stats/daclist) either delivered bilaterally or through contributions to multilateral development institutions. The definition of domestic resource mobilisation for the purposes of the ATI monitoring is the following:

  OECD code 15114: Domestic Revenue Mobilisation

  Support to domestic revenue mobilisation/tax policy, analysis and administration as well as non-tax public revenue, which includes work with ministries of finance, line ministries, revenue authorities or other local, regional or national public bodies. (Use code 16010 for social security and other social protection.)

  Support for technical cooperation entails all transfers of resources, either in cash or in the form of services, which also includes the provision of experts to missions in countries that qualify for ODA.

• Q: What if development providers wish to more than double their support for DRM projects?

  A: This will be most welcome. There is nothing in the declaration that would stop providers from going beyond doubling their support.

• Q: What are the implications of becoming an ATI supporting organisation?

  A: ATI supporting organisations are included in all official ATI communication and are invited to participate and contribute to ATI meetings and discussions. Supporting organisations are expected to participate in donor coordination activities and to contribute to the annual ATI monitoring report and the online DRM project database to ensure its comprehensiveness and timeliness, including identifying good practices. Supporting organisations are invited to actively support, present and advocate for the ATI in their respective member countries, when possible and relevant.

• Q: How can a country or organisation join the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: Countries can join the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) by sending a letter of intent by email to the International Tax Compact (ITC) , declaring their intention to sign up to the ATI Declaration and nominating an ATI focal point. Interested organisations send an email to the ITC indicating the intention to join as a supporting organisation and nominating a focal point.
  The ITC will then forward the letter to the ATI Steering Committee for information and approval.

• Q: For a country to join the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI), are there any formal requirements for the letter of intent?

  A: The letter of intent shall declare a country’s intention to sign up to the ATI Declaration and to fulfil the ATI commitments. It shall be signed by an institution that is authorised to sign and that can provide the necessary political support to fulfil the ATI commitments (e.g. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance or the like).

  An example letter of intent is provided here: EN | ES | FR (0.1 MB DOCX)

• Q: Can countries join the Addis Tax Initiative both as a development partner and partner country at the same time? (i.e. providing support for DRM and receiving support at the same time)

  A: A country that joins the ATI does not need to specify whether it joins as an ATI development partner or ATI partner country. All signatories are listed on the ATI website on equal footing.

  By signing up to the ATI, a country that provides development assistance in the area of domestic resource mobilisation (DRM) to other countries will be considered an ATI development partner and will commit itself to double this assistance (commitment 1). A country that plans to enhance its own domestic resources and would like to receive technical assistance in doing so, will be considered an ATI partner country and is expected to follow (and report on) commitment 2.

  If a country provides development assistance, while at the same time receiving or seeking technical assistance in the area of DRM, it would be considered both ATI development partner and ATI partner country, and both commitment 1 and 2 would apply to that country (plus commitment 3, which applies to all countries).

• Q: If a partner country decides not to join the Addis Tax Initiative, will it still continue to benefit from receiving Official Development Aid?

  A: Yes. Countries that do not join will still be eligible to receive Official Development Aid (ODA). That said, by joining the ATI, countries are sending a strong signal that they are committed to domestic resource mobilisation (DRM). This could potentially garner even greater offers of ODA support from development partners in the ATI.

• Q: What does the governance structure of the Addis Tax Initiative look like?

  A: Activities in the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) are overseen by the ATI Steering Committee (SC). It provides strategic guidance, decides on the ATI activities and monitors progress made against meeting the ATI commitments. The SC comprises representatives of three ATI partner countries and three ATI development partners. The SC is headed by two co-chairs consisting of one representative of an ATI development partner and one from an ATI partner country. The current members of the ATI SC can be found here.

  The ATI SC meets virtually and on an ad-hoc basis. If necessary, other ATI signatories or supporting organisations can be invited as observers to participate in the SC meetings. To ensure utmost transparency, all SC meetings are documented and the minutes are provided to all ATI signatories for consideration.

  The Secretariat of the ATI is facilitated by the International Tax Compact (ITC), which is based in Bonn, Germany. The ITC supports the ATI SC and carries out the SC’s decisions, maintains the network of ATI focal points and ensures a transparent communication with the ATI network.

• Q: How does the monitoring of the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) work?

  A: Details on the monitoring of the ATI commitments are outlined in the ATI monitoring framework.

  The monitoring of commitment #1 will be based on the OECD DAC statistics. There will be no additional reporting requirements on the quantitative part of Commitment 1. Should a country join the ATI that does not report its Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the OECD DAC, then establishing proper reporting procedures will be determined on a case by case basis.

• Q: How to contact the Addis Tax Initiative?

  A: The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) can be contacted through the International Tax Compact (ITC) , or by directly contacting the ATI Steering Committee. ATI partner countries seeking support for domestic revenue mobilization can also directly approach the local representatives of ATI development partners in their countries.

ATI Matchmaking

The ATI Matchmaking Mechanism

What is it?

The ATI Matchmaking Mechanism aims to support and promote medium-to long-term collaboration between the ATI members by pairing countries and organisations on a reciprocal offer/need support basis. In doing so, the Mechanism effectively facilitates the matching of the ATI partner countries and the ATI supporting organisations with development partners.

This approach depends on the foundational notion that you cannot heal what you do not reveal. These templates serve a dual purpose: firstly, to address domestic revenue mobilisation areas and obstacles that the ATI members have chosen to stress and secondly, to further invite interested parties to be part of the solution.

How does it work?

The “Request for Assistance” and “Offer of Support” templates provide a simple and concise way for the ATI members to outline their specific requests for or offers of support. Requested and offered assistance can cover technical assistance, expert support, study visits, training and financial assistance.

If an ATI member has an existing request for or offer of support, they can fill in the appropriate form and send it through their ATI focal point to secretariat@taxcompact.net. First, the templates will be shared with the ATI group via email. Then, the templates will be made available in a restricted online area.

For more information on the matchmaking mechanism or on completing the form, please feel free to contact secretariat@taxcompact.net.
