    Abstract

    Raising revenue right is a defining challenge for emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Government revenues have not kept pace with spending, squeezing fiscal space. Many tax systems are also inefficient, distorting economic activity with high tax rates, narrow tax bases, and many loopholes. Fairness is also lacking as the combined effect of taxes and transfers in many countries leaves more people in poverty than it lifts out.

    This Policy Research Report argues that countries can do better. It presents an integrated framework to help policymakers identify the best combination of efficiency and fairness for raising a given amount of revenue—an ideal referred to as the fiscal frontier. To reach the fiscal frontier, the report argues that countries should leverage three major transformations in the fiscal landscape: technological advances, greater transparency enabled by international cooperation, and new insights on trust and the political economy of taxation. Together, these forces equip governments with richer information, sharper policy guidance, and more powerful tools for execution, enabling public finance systems to raise needed revenues while improving efficiency and fairness.
