Inequalities and the Essential Role of Fair Taxation  aNairobibTax Justice Network Africa c2014  a78p.  aThis report investigates the issue of income inequality in eight sub-Saharan African countries (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe). While there is growing public recognition that inequality is the issue for our time - both globally and in sub-Saharan Africa – there is little definitive analysis of income inequality trends on the continent. This report seeks to contribute in this area, looking at whether income inequality is, in fact, rising and in what context this is occurring. In particular, this report seeks to locate an analysis of tax systems in sub-Saharan Africa in the context of these economic inequalities, given the primary importance of national tax systems in redistributing wealth.  aTax, Inequality   uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/Africa-tax-and-inequality-report-Feb2014.pdf  cCF  c784d784
