<p>DFID’s support is helping developing countries to collect more taxes from where
they are due. The aim is to build self-sustaining economies that can generate their
own financing through increased tax revenue and private investment. In addition to
providing capacity building support in-country through bilateral support programmes,
this includes providing £10.3 million to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) to assist developing countries to implement international tax
standards to tackle international tax evasion and avoidance. For example, through
this funding we are supporting the ‘Tax Inspectors Without Borders’ initiative, which
assists developing countries with issues such as complex international audits. This
programme has generated an additional $100 in revenue for every $1 spent on operating
costs.</p>
