ATAF strengthens taxation efforts with ICTD partnership

By ATAF Communication • 08 Apr, 2024

This partnership signifies a crucial moment for ATAF's efforts to improve tax administration capabilities and collaborate on key taxation issues.

TAXING DIGITAL FIRMS IN AFRICA

The current global tax rules are no longer fit for purpose in an increasingly digitalised global economy and the domestic rules of most countries are also not appropriate for the taxation of such businesses. In response to these issues in June 2020 ATAF published a Policy Brief designed to assist ATAF members in their tax policy considerations regarding the taxation of highly digitalised businesses operating in Africa countries. The choice African countries make on the taxing of digital firms will vary depending on the country’s particular tax policy objectives. As set out in this policy brief there are various legislative options available to countries and ATAF stands ready to assist its members in their deliberations on this issue.
