This policy seminar and project meeting, held in partnership with the South African Revenue Service and National Treasury, brings together high level audience to discuss the goals and preliminary results of the Firm Level Analysis project which is part of UNU-WIDERs current research initiative Regional Growth and Development in Southern Africa. The Firm level analysis project aims to enhance the use of tax data for policy purposes. This effort in South Africa is one of the first and most advanced on the African continent.
