answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <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> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 19/02/2020 17:48:24 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
