Haiti - Economy : Towards a broadening of the tax base 11/07/2016 09:58:07
To this end, the European Union has resorted to the French public operator Expertise France, specializes in the development of international technical expertise programs, mobilizing competencies of institutions of the French government. An executive of the French Ministry of Finance and Public Accounts was seconded to Haiti for this purpose. In two years, the Support Program for the DGI, funded by the EU to the tune of 2 million Euros, which receives technical assistance from the public cooperation agency Expertise France, aims to improve the level of revenue collection in Haiti to facilitate the financing of State activities and thus reduce dependence on international aid. In his speech, Yves Romain Bastien, the Minister of Economy stated "What the Haitian State research, is that at any time we can, through the payment of taxes, arriving at meet the needs of the population. What we need is to know from the resources we have, what is possible to achieve so that ultimately we can provide the answers for by ourselves. We can only maintain balance, despite the support that is provided to us, that by making the effort over time, broaden the tax base of the country as an expression of our realities." Massimo Scalorbi, the Head of EU cooperation specified that "Tax reform is a cornerstone in any state-building strategy since the ability to mobilize revenue directly contributes to its empowerment, as an increase in domestic revenue decreases dependence on foreign aid. It is one of the objectives of the European budget support and this is what justifies the greater involvement of the EU in this reform," adding "an administration able to effectively mobilize its own resourcesis an administration that will better serve its population." As part of this program, many activities will be deployed include: the revision of the legal framework (codes, procedure guides and legislation related to state tax), improving tax control and tax collection of SMEs, seminars on the taxation of SMEs, the provision of training on internal control and audit for executives, improving the communication of the institution through the strengthening of the communication plan and the establishment of an information Centre for the public. The project, started in April 2016, will end in February 2018. HL/ HaitiLibre
