Replay the launch of the new book “Innovations in Tax Compliance: Building Trust, Navigating Politics, and Tailoring Reform”. The event delved into the integrated reform framework developed in the book, which highlights the centrality of expanding reform strategies to place greater emphasis on the construction of trust, navigate political resistance to reform and tailor reform to unique national circumstances. This was followed by discussion of lessons learned from pilot programs that have applied the framework to guide ongoing reform programs.
