Taxpayers have little info on the taxes they are supposed to pay, or how the money is used. Transparency efforts are often Bix tickingpic.twitter.com/x9STzv6w8u
Wall charts to show tax paid (not filled out, in a locked office inside a govt building...) What would meaningful information be? Timely, accessible, specific (useful to taxpayers) #ICTD19pic.twitter.com/qrZvbUmrzD
What comms channels do taxpayers want? Talk radio (call in shows) most popular. Civil society orgs can play role in translating official info, enabling collective voice and training taxpayers #ICTD19

If people don't know how much tax they are supposed to pay they are more vulnerable to corrupt demands. And even if tax demands are right, they may perceive them corrupt.
In Rwanda half of newly registered taxpayers don't file in their first year, half of those who file in first year file "nil" tax returns #ICTD19
