Rule of law in taxation: Rights before revenue - Part 1
TWO important pillars are essential for a fair and transparent tax system. They are: a well-informed public and an accountable tax authority. A weakness or strength of either pillar determines the level of the integrity of the entire system. The strength creates a conducive environment where mutual respect among tax payers and officials, increased tax compliance and friendly culture prevail. The weakness leads to mutual mistrust, increased tax evasion and avoidance and ultimately a deterioration in the quality of national life—not only economically, but socially and culturally as well.
