Tax Systems Transformation Programme (TSTP)

Description

Lot 1: Tax Systems Transformation Programme (TSTP) The purpose of the Tax Systems Transformation Programme (TSTP)is to assist Government of Ethiopia raising tax revenues in a responsible and equitable manner. The objective of this contract for services is to manage the Accelerated Delivery component of the overall programme on three outcomes: an equitable and business friendly tax environment; improved voluntary compliance; increased GoE revenues. Accelerated Delivery translates political will at the highest level into coordinated and technically sound reform of Ethiopian tax systems. The TSTP contract brings together ‘delivery’ and technical tax expertise from specialist consultancy, UK HMRC, and other development partners to support Ethiopia in meeting the financing needs of its 10-year prosperity plan, macroeconomic reforms, and supporting an eventual exit from aid. It provides a blend of long-term embedded advisers and short-term experts to deliver improved business processes, enhanced administrative capabilities, improved IT, reformed tax policy, and lower compliance costs for taxpayers.
