Community of Practice on Tax Expenditures - 1st Meeting
Over the span from July 2022 to May 2024, the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) organised jointly with the Council on Economic Policies (CEP) and the German Institute for Development and Sustainability (IDOS) six regional workshops on tax expenditures (TEs) across three regions (West Africa, East Africa, and Asia). The workshops invited officials from ministries of finance, revenue authorities, and parliaments. The primary objectives were to provide capacity building, facilitate knowledge transfer to ATI partner countries, and establish robust regional networks of TE experts.
By building on the momentum and vast interest communicated by the workshop participants, the main objective of this Community of Practice (CoP) is to provide all attendees from ATI partner countries as well as other interested parties a platform to continue engaging in discussions around TE estimation, evaluation, reporting, and reform. In doing so, the CoP aspires to leverage the collective expertise of its members to enhance TE governance across ministries of finance, revenue administrations, parliaments, and beyond.
