Have a look on latest annual report

The latest TIWB annual report reflects upon the work of TIWB in the evolving international taxation and development context over the period from July 2022 to December 2023. During this timeframe, countries have faced multiple interrelated challenges, including climate change and the impacts of conflict, in addition to high inflation (particularly in energy and food). Illicit financial flows associated with corruption, illegal trade, and money laundering, have further constrained countries’ fiscal space, which was already substantially reduced by the impact of COVID-19 on public finances. The report provides comprehensive information on TIWB’s current and future areas of intervention to strengthen technical assistance in tax audit across developing countries.
