PARIS - The fifth edition of the tax policy publication Revenue Statistics in Africa will be launched on Thursday, 12 November 2020. The report provides an overview of the main taxation trends from 1990 to 2018 in 30 countries, including Chad, Lesotho, Malawi, and Namibia for the first time.
This edition includes a special feature, discussing factors likely to affect the future of domestic resource mobilisation in Africa in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on trade and public revenues.
Revenue Statistics in Africa 2020 is a joint publication by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, the OECD Development Centre, the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and the African Union Commission (AUC), with the technical support of the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Cercle de Réflexion et d’Échange des Dirigeants des Administrations fiscales (CREDAF).
It benefited from the support of the governments of Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Its approach is based on the OECD Revenue Statistics database methodology, which provides internationally comparable data on tax levels and tax structures.
