🔍 We highlight the differences in auditing costs across firms, shedding light on the financial burden of compliance. 🤖 Using Machine Learning methods, we estimate the VAT tax gap by underreporting taxable income across firms & industries, size & declaration categories.

Excited to share my latest research on the impact of personal income tax reform in Uganda! The reform increased a top tax rate from 30 to 40 %. We find that it had limited behavioural reactions among top taxpayers. Check out the full study 👇 doi.org/10.1007/s10797… @UNUWIDER
