In order to assist the Sudan in addressing its fiscal deficit challenge, ECA began providing technical assistance to support the Taxation Chamber of the Sudan in 2021. The assistance was mainly focused on enhancing the performance of the Chamber’s Large Taxpayers’ Office. In collaboration with the Egyptian Tax Authority, ECA worked hand in hand with the Chamber to improve tax assessment and compliance rates and to modernize tax administration, with a view to increasing tax revenues.
The project was also aimed at improving the skills of the tax auditors through training and exchanges of experience with the Egyptian Tax Authority. ECA assisted the Chamber in improving tax policies by providing technical advice on future reforms that would have an immediate impact on tax revenues, such as simplifying tax procedures and regulations and updating taxpayer documentation.
