Paying Taxes 2009

The latest edition of the Paying Taxes report launched by the World Bank, IFC and PricewaterhouseCoopers, shows that tax authorities worldwide are overhauling tax systems by reducing taxes, streamlining administrative processes and modernising payment systems.

Paying Taxes 2009, the third report in an annual series, is expected to prompt further dialogue between governments and businesses on improving tax systems. The newsletter below provides an oversight of some of the key findings of the report including findings relevant to East Africa and Africa generally.
