"Ghana has successfully implemented a hybrid tax regime and put several measures in place to combat the illicit tobacco trade with taxes on tobacco having have had an actual impact on revenue" Dr. Alex Kombat of @GhanaRevenue at ATAF's 2nd CONTINENTAL WORKSHOP ON HEALTH TAXES

Some 7 executives of the French oil company BOURBON were found guilty of corruption in Marseille France today July 12 2024. They are accused of organizing the payment of bribes in 3 countries, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria. As regards Cameroon the main offenders were: Christian LEFEVRE Guilty of corruption in the 3 countries (Cameroon, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea) 30 months suspended sentence 80,000 euros fine Prohibited from exercising any corporate mandates, manage, direct any commercial company for 3 years. Gaël BODENES and Laurent RENARD Guilty of corruption in the 3 countries 24 months suspended sentence and 80,000 euros fine. Prohibited from exercising any corporate mandates managing, running a company Eric Verrière guilty of being an accomplice to corruption in Cameroon only. 6 months suspended sentence and 5000 Euros fine. Cameroon was not party to the suit and no Cameroonian tax official was named. No legal action has been taken in our country. Just like in the GLENCORE scandal impunity reigns supreme. The day the state of corruption in the oil sector will be revealed we will just have to declare 30 days of National Mourning. 2025 is our golden opportunity to vanquish this evil and give hope a chance. We will overcome.

My opinion is featured in @NatOlivo @Law360 's article on P1. In brief, P1 has little scope to succeed; countries do not only have DSTs as an alternative (online VAT, too), and the problem of nexus remains after a potential failure of the MLC. law360.com/tax-authority/…

@ICTDTax @IDS_UK @WIEGOGLOBAL @MikeRogan11 @VVandenboogaard @NAnyidoho There is a common assumption that informal workers don't pay any taxes. But many of them do pay a set of taxes and fees, some to local authorities. Higher income individuals (quintile 5) are more likely to pay those - but there are plenty of payments on the lower income end too.

An informative paper. It does not consider impact of WHT, which means revenues from Pillar 1 may be lower for developing countries than the estimates in the paper. A great initiative by @South_Centre @ATAFtax and @wataftax

At the 9th @IBFD_on_Tax Africa Tax Symposium, @South_Centre Senior Program Officer @abdulmc highlighted that only 1% of taxable profits under the #OECD Global Minimum Tax are located in Africa, making it irrelevant for most of the Continent.
