Building on the Regional Workshop on Tax Expenditures in Asia that took place in Manila last year, the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) together with the Council on Economic Policies and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), as well as the Inland Revenue Department of Nepal, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), have co-organized a follow-up technical meeting on tax expenditures for the region. The event (by invitation) was held in Kathmandu from 7-9 May 2024.

  • The convening in Kathmandu was part of a series of regional workshops and follow-up technical meetings on tax expenditures that build on ATI Commitment 3, as well as the Global Tax Expenditures Database (GTED) and the Global Tax Expenditures Transparency Index (GTETI) published by CEP and IDOS. The technical meetings have been designed to provide a platform for ATI member countries and other interested governments to exchange with regional partners and international experts on the estimation, reporting, and evaluation of tax expenditures. The events also served as a platform to advance collaboration in the field.

    The full report of the previous workshop in Manila is available here.  

    Watch the highlights from the ATI Meeting on Tax Expenditures held in Manila, the first of the series with a focus on Asia.

    In 2023, two other technical meetings were held for West & East African countries, respectively in Ghana and Tanzania, with a similar format.
