About this learning event

At this workshop, representatives from the CEF constituency will be invited to share their experiences with recent tax reforms that they have implemented. 

We will examine the reforms related to the introduction of progressive taxes, windfall taxes, and updates to IT systems. We will discuss various aspects of these reforms, including the rationale behind their implementation, the challenges faced by authorities while introducing them, the legislative process involved, the accompanying changes in systems and personnel, the management of the social dialogue throughout the implementation, effective communication with the public and opposition, prioritization and sequencing of changes, and the overall impact of the reforms.
