Tunisia - Enhancing domestic resource mobilization through effective tax system design and improved transparency and international cooperation

Enhancing domestic resource mobilization through effective tax system design and improved transparency and international coopération is conceived in a context where Tunisia faces a fundamental need to generate more revenue from its own tax bases. The activities supported by this project will contribute to strengthening the Tunisian government's capacity to increase revenue collection and to use the tax system as an instrument to provide the right tax incentives to attract investment, create jobs and foster regional development. As a result, decision-makers will be better able to design policies that stimulate sustainable growth while fighting inequality and reducing poverty. The project has five (5) components: Component 1: Implementing international tax standards on tax transparency and information exchange; Component 2: Combating base erosion and profit shifting; Component 3: Tax policy analysis and planning Component 4: Tax administration reform, management and improving tax compliance; and Component 5: Project management and monitoring. The total estimated cost of the project, net of taxes and fees, is USD 4,690,000.
