Read more about the research & what we think lower-income countries should do to tax the wealthy now here 👉 ictd.ac/blog/pandora-l… @giulia_mascagni @RhiannonCM @TaxCompact @WilsonPrichard

Wilson Prichard of ICTD: "Taxing the wealthiest is where we need to focus. It's where the potential is and success of Uganda on taxing HNWI and Sierra Leone on property tax shows it can be done and builds legitimacy of the tax system". At #AddisTaxInitiative general assembly.

Was great to be part of this! #Tax4Dev

Important findings & implications from this research on taxpayer registration drives. Great summary thread 👇

🧵Countries across Africa have looked to registering new taxpayers as a path to rely less on international donors. However, often these campaigns don't raise much revenue - and hit some of the poorest. What is happening? Our new @ICTDTax working paper offers some explanations: 1/

What should lower-income countries do to #tax the wealthy❓ @giulia_mascagni & @RhiannonCM argue that before considering new #wealth taxes, LICs should focus on better implementing existing taxes on income & property that target the wealthy. @IDS_UK Read👉ictd.ac/blog/pandora-l…

Extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously for the first time in 25 years. Billionaire wealth is booming, while millions struggle to survive. Let’s end this era of #SurvivalOfTheRichest. It’s time to #TaxTheRich to #FightInequality. oxfam.org/en/take-action…



Some great advice in this thread on how to do #research that influences #policy! 👇 @IDS_UK @IDSalumni @ICTDTax #impact @IDRC_CRDI

If you were going to give one piece of advice to an early career researcher on how to do research that influences policy, what would it be?

Scandalous.

The FCDO has been asked freeze 'non-essential aid spending' because the 'new lower ODA limit was about to be breached'. Here's a tale of two spending departments since 2020 - (MoD and FCDO) showing how it is different rules for different depts (1/n) ft.com/content/df86bc…

There's been much debate about #wealth taxes, but is this the right option for lower-income countries? @giulia_mascagni & @RhiannonCM argue they should first focus on enforcing taxes on income & property and ramp up information exchange to #tax the wealthy ictd.ac/blog/pandora-l…
