DIGITAX Research Programme
The DIGITAX programme generated knowledge and evidence as well as delivering advice and support to governments and other stakeholders on overcoming challenges and leveraging opportunities at the interface of digital financial services (DFS), digital IDs, and tax.
Our robust, relevant, and cutting-edge research looked at:
- the taxation of mobile money and other DFS, and;
- the digitalisation of tax systems across lower-income countries, with a particular focus on Africa.
