Recommendation 3

3 Paragraph: 25

Lack of adequate data and scrutiny for tax reliefs hinders policymaking and accountability.

Conclusion
Tax reliefs account for considerable reduction in tax revenue. They require adequate data to be collected and published to inform proper policymaking or accountability. However, the evidence shows that this is not happening. The disparity between scrutiny of tax reliefs and that of equivalent direct public expenditure is stark.
