Background
The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) Tax Gap Community of Interest was established in June 2024, as an ATI initiative to enhance peer collaboration between ATI partner countries on this topic. It arose from the 2024 ATI Tax Gap Workshop. To know more, click here.
This CoI is currently chaired by a representative from the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA), and benefits from active involvement of experts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB), and UNU-WIDER.
It currently operates in two main formats, a) quarterly meetings, where members get to learn about updates in this thematic field, both from peers and invited experts, and b) tax gap clinics, where members get to receive expert feedback on the specific elements of the tax gap estimation process and on different tax types (VAT, CIT, PIT, etc).
