Towards Sustainable ICT Systems in Tax Administrations
The African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) is committed to improve the functioning of African tax administrations. This can be done, for example, through improving the tax administrations’ capacity and skill base as well as through addressing the specific challenges they face by learning from the experiences of their co-members. ATAF’s strategic agenda for the three-year period from 2013 to 2015 is challenging and exciting, and brings us many opportunities. Two of these opportunities are to promote responsible tax citizenry and to ensure good financial governance through sharing ATAF’s research, especially by analysing good practices and lessons learnt to empower and educate the state, tax administration and society; which could help deter the culture of tax avoidance, tax evasion and tax resistance.
