Preface

Domestic resource mobilization, including tax revenues, is central to achieving sustainable development. Taxes represent a stable source of finance that, complemented by other sources, is critical to financing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Taxation is essential to providing public goods and services, increasing equity and helping manage macroeconomic stability. SDG 17 on the means of implementation and global partnership for sustainable development calls on the international community to strengthen domestic resource mobilization, including through international support to developing countries, to improve domestic capacity for tax and other revenue collection.

Sustainable Development Goals:

No Poverty
