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?

multilateral organisations?
