As part of IBP’s new Tax Equity Initiative, we are developing research and tools to help civic actors deepen their engagement with tax reform and to learn from each other. As part of this work, we have carried out a detailed review of the academic literature on the politics of tax reform in low- and middle-income countries. This document summarizes key points from the longer review and frames these findings around “reflection points”: questions and suggestions for civic actors to consider as they plan work around tax reform.
