"International Revenue Administration: Managing Global Taxes" delves into the complex world of taxation, a topic that sparks debate among tax practitioners, economists, and citizens worldwide. We explore how governments collect revenue through various instruments like property income, fees, and taxes, to provide essential goods and services to citizens.

Our book explains the definition of taxes as compulsory, unrequited payments to the general government sector, a concept adopted by the OECD, IMF, and World Bank. We cover different types of taxes, including income and capital gains, payroll, property, goods and services, and international trade. By understanding 'modern' tax systems—such as income taxes, VAT or GST, excise taxes, property taxes, property transfer taxes, and customs duties—we provide a comprehensive view of global taxation.

This extensive guide helps tax officials, practitioners, and donors evaluate tax administration performance, and offers detailed insights for those interested in the functions and operations of tax administration.
