This report is part of ActionAid’s ambitious project to debate, develop and propose strategies for development in a range of poor countries, from Nepal to Nigeria. These strategies aim to provide more equal and inclusive alternatives to those currently under official consideration, as well as a starting point for dialogue with decision-makers within the countries.
The tax system is a central pillar of any national development strategy, and in this report we describe and compare aspects of the tax system, and the tax issues coming up on the agenda, in five countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Cambodia and Nepal). The report will support the development of tax advocacy both within these countries and internationally.
