Overview

Analysis of tax revenue determinants in 20 SSA countries highlights macroeconomic and institutional factors.

Key Points

  • Tax revenue in SSA countries is significantly below the 19% GDP threshold needed for sustainable development goals.
  • The shadow economy, inflation, and unemployment negatively impact tax revenue, with unemployment having the strongest effect.
  • A fixed effects panel model was utilized to analyze 15 years of data from 20 SSA countries and various economic databases.
  • Policies are needed to reduce the informal economy and improve regulatory environments to boost tax collection.
