Tax Administration Diagnostic and Assessement Tool II

TADAT is a diagnostic tool that provides an objective and standardized assessment of the relative strengths and weaknesses of a country's system of tax administration. The TADAT strengthens coordination between the main providers of technical assistance in the tax field and allows an evidenced-based measurement of tax reform progress. Established in 2013, the TADAT initiative is part of a wider agenda of the international community to help countries to strengthen their tax systems and improve domestic revenue mobilization. The tool builds up on the acknowledgement that tax administrations are key for fiscal sustainability and that rule-based processes ensure an equitable and fair tax system. It strengthens good governance and fosters internal accountability between governments and their taxed citizens .
