[cid:image003.png@01D7EB90.00EA44D0] Increased multilateral tax aid The new report Quality Tax Aid - A review of Nordic countries' support for domestic resource mobilization through multilateral institutions, finds that the share of Nordic tax aid (ODA for DRM) channelled through multilateral organisations has increased and reached its peak in 2019. For Sweden and Finland, it is half of their aid for DRM, for Norway over 70% and for Denmark over 90%, far above the 41% average for DAC members the same year. By signing the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI), the Nordic governments have committed to reducing inequality via the aid they provide. The IMF and the World Bank are supporting organisations of the ATI. However, due to a lack of clear objectives and indicators to measure the impact it is less clear whether multilateral tax aid leads to the aim of the ATI commitments, especially those relevant to reducing inequality. Report launch, and discussion We invite the Nordic government officials for Development Cooperation, parliamentarians and experts to discuss the topic of quality tax aid through multilateral organisations. * How do we best ensure that tax aid leads to better quality tax systems? * Who should receive tax aid; multilateral institutions, civil society organisations, independent researchers? * How do we ensure transparency and satisfactory measurement of aid flows through multilateral organisations? * How can Nordic countries cooperate to make tax aid better?
