1 Centre for Studies in African Taxation (CSAT) Compiled by: Kennedy Munyandi Manager Belema Obuoforibo CSAT Project Committee Chair CSAT is a think tank devoted to the study and development of African taxation and promoter of the Annual Africa Tax Symposium
2 1. About CSAT The is a think tank devoted to the study and development of African taxation. CSAT provides research-based opinions and best practices guidance, whether solicited or unsolicited, on current domestic and international tax issues as they relate to Africa. CSAT aims at being on the leading edge of creativity and innovation in order to stay ahead of international tax developments. CSAT is an integral part of the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (), an independent not-for-profit foundation. Consequently, CSAT is an autonomous think tank. 2. Statement of Need The tax knowledge gap between African countries and other countries of the world is evidently very broad, particularly in relation to international taxation. There is a need to enhance tax expertise in African countries if these countries are to collect the revenue necessary to fund development programmes and essential services, and to achieve sustainable economic growth. Further, in a rapidly changing tax arena where it is generally agreed that such vices as base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) can better be tackled through a globally coordinated response (as opposed to continued interjurisdictional competition for tax revenue), any major tax knowledge gap between countries can be a hindrance to these coordination efforts. In fulfilment of its mission statement, which is to spread the word of international taxation throughout the world, and with the support of collaborating partners, endeavours to narrow this knowledge gap through the activities of CSAT. Further, views this initiative as a contribution towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2015 and, in particular, Goal 17: Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. One of the targets of this Goal is to strengthen domestic resource mobilization, including through international support to developing countries, to improve domestic capacity for tax and other revenue collection. CSAT s tax research activities will have a bias towards international taxation, although research in any other areas of tax policy will also be included. It is our belief that African countries are most lacking in this very specialized area of taxation. 3. Objectives and Methodology The objectives of CSAT are to study and provide well-researched opinions on taxation in Africa, to encourage research by Africans for Africa and to find practical solutions that work within an African context. To achieve this, CSAT will: organize an annual 3-day Africa Tax Symposium on Trends in International Taxation: an African Perspective, to be hosted by an African country, at which research papers on trends (and recent tax developments) in international taxation are presented and discussed;
3 carry out research on international and comparative taxation in general, as they relate to Africa, and in particular to study specialist topics, such as: transfer pricing; natural resources taxation; and tax aspects of regional economic integration; disseminate research material and findings through the publication of academic books, working papers, journals, articles, etc., and to present at other conferences in Africa; engage in debates on African taxation through various forums, including social media; provide research-based advice to African governments by responding to any released public call for comments tax policy documents; develop model or tailored texts of legislative provisions and tax treaty articles; develop technical skills and institutional capacity through: promoting a best tax research paper competition among postgraduate African students; providing a short-term staff attachment at ; and providing scholarship awards to study for the UvA- Advanced Master s in International Tax Law programme; make open calls for research papers on specialist tax topics affecting Africa; and carry out any other activities in line with the above objectives. 4. Organization and Personnel 4.1 Management committee CSAT s activities are supervised by an internal Management Committee and an extended Secondary Management Committee. The Management Committees are responsible for, among others, procuring financial resources for CSAT and ensuring that CSAT operates within its objectives.
