Logan Wort, executive secretary of the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), makes the case for why the international tax conference in Abuja will make a significant contribution. A flagship conference of the African Tax Administration Forum happening every two years, ICTA 2017 will ask delegates to deliberate over Building Strong Domestic Tax Regimes in Africa: Strengthening VAT, PIT and CIT. Mr Fowler is one of six African experts recently elected to the prestigious UN Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters. Five of those six experts come from ATAF member countries. A prosperous future for Africa is possible but it will only become sustainable if attention is paid to building a solid base which includes building strong domestic tax regimes in Africa.
