Research in Brief 105
The increasing digitalisation of African economies over the past decade, and the spread of mobile money and digital financial services (DFS), present opportunities and challenges to tax administrations in Africa. In principle, the use of digital technologies and expanded use of DFS offer access to new digitised data, increased transparency, and an improved taxpayer experience. However, studies show that tax administrations face important challenges in how best to develop their capacity to use digitised data, and to re-align operations and skills to new digitalised operating models.
