[TAX MAP] Taxation policies and Mobile money usage in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Cross-Country Survey Data

Across Africa, the use of digital financial services (DFS) continues to grow, and an increasing number of countries are exploring how best to tax them. With this fluidity, stakeholders need up-to-date information on changes as they happen, as much as their history. ICTD’s DIGITAX Research Programme has launched a dynamic web portal – the DFS TaxMap – that tracks the evolution and variety of approaches to the taxation of DFS. This new portal marks a significant milestone in DIGITAX’s mission to empower our audience with comprehensive tax information. By providing a centralised platform on DFS taxes, we simplify the complex landscape of tax regulations, while at the same time enabling cross-comparisons. Our goal is to present facts and figures for effortless navigation through the intricacies of taxation.
