Program areas at ITIC
Africa projects - itic began its work in africa in 2000 with a series of indirect Tax studies and in-country workshops in kenya and ghana. The africa Tax dialogue, which itic founded in 2010, focuses on Tax coordination within regional economic communities (recs) in africa. It brings together the secretariats from the east african community (eac), southern african development community (sadc), west african economic and monetary union (uemoa), and economic community of west african states (ecowas) to discuss their own Tax coordination as well as the best practices of others. Itic also convenes issue- and country-specific workshops with finance and revenue officials across the continent. In 2018 and 2019, itic conducted two such workshops in tanzania and mozambique.

Itic is currently engaged in a mining taxation study in kazakhstan, which analyzes current practices, australian experience and International best practices.
