A VAT revenue simulation model for tax reform in developing countries
- 2000
Develops a model to simulate policies and revenues for a value-added taxes (VAT) system in countries that have an indirect tax system containing sales, excise taxes, and tariffs. Suggests that if a government of a developing country wants to rely more on the VAT over time, it must move aggressively to broaden the base and enhance compliance.
