Key DRM Objectives
- IV. Role of Donors
With gradual and incremental changes in tax laws in pursuit of higher tax revenues,tax structures often become complex in
- nature. Sometimes
governments go for minor taxes and fees that are costly to comply with and administer.
13
Broaden the Tax Base
- IV. Role of Donors
Some countries with a VAT continue to have the old mindset. .
14
Broaden the Tax Base
- IV. Role of Donors
The Personal Income Tax (PIT) is generally weak and poorly managed. In developing countries, there is always a pressure on government for granting exemptions by interest groups under all taxes.
15
Broaden the Tax Base
The corporate income tax (CIT)
- ften has a narrow base
focusing on foreign and large domestic companies. CIT on multinationals is always a concern as they have greater avenues for profit-shifting, transfer pricing and tax avoidance.

Competitive Economic Growth
- V. Moving Forward
1. Focus on basics before tacking more difficult reforms. 2. DRM will contribute to the SDG funding gap. 3. Broad-based, sustainable, economic growth is the only way to increase and sustain a tax base 4. Countries that have demonstrated the political will for DRM reforms should be prioritized. 5. Donors should follow government leadership 6. Programs should balance revenue collection with fairness, equity and governance considerations. 7. Transparency and broad-based dialogue should characterize all aspect
- f DRM programs
8. Reforming and sustaining revenue collection institutions. 9. Programs should strengthen linkages between revenue and expenditures
- 10. Take account of the international aspects of taxation.
