Revenue authorities around the world are digitalising tax systems to simplify compliance and improve efficiency. However, tax data remains vastly underutilised. Many digital tools require data as an input to operate, and they can also be a source of generating data. Well utilised data can make the process of complying with taxes simpler for the taxpayer and revenue authorities.

This webinar, part of a series hosted by the International Growth Centre on Tax and Sustainable Growth, discuses how data-driven strategies should be central to revenue collection, enhancing tax enforcement, detecting non-compliance, and informing policy.

Speakers

  • Saugata Mitra, International Growth Centre
  • Fabrizio Santoro, ICTD
  • Paul Aplin, Chartered Institute of Taxation
