Webinar: Digital Public Infrastructure meets tax digitalisation – what can we learn?

4 December 2024 14:00–15:00

Zoom

As digitalisation climbs the policy agenda on national, regional, and international stages, tax administrations worldwide are implementing digital reforms and leveraging digitized data. However, ongoing research and policy debate are demonstrating the complexities of implementing effective digital solutions.

Join the first webinar from our upcoming series which will explore how digitalisation is reshaping tax administrations in low income countries, transforming how revenue authorities function and how taxpayers experience the tax system. We’ll spotlight emerging practices, including Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), which is gaining momentum as a promising framework to streamline tax processes and promote inclusivity.

Co-hosted by the IDS-based International Centre for Tax and Development and the World Bank, this series offers a unique platform for multistakeholder dialogue on the opportunities and obstacles shaping the future of tax administration in the digital era.
