TAXDEV Policy Conference: Analysing Tax Policy in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs)

Conference 23 March 2018 at 09:30 7 Ridgmount Street London WC1E 7AE
Governments in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) need to raise sufficient tax revenues in order to invest in human and physical capital and expand social protection programmes. Such investments will be vital to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. But effective tax systems are about more than raising revenue, and understanding the distributional and behavioural impacts of policies is vital if policymakers are to ensure that their tax systems support inclusive growth and avoid potentially damaging economic distortions.
