The briefing unpacks the concept of illicit financial flows with some perspectives from the taxation, institutions and participation (TIP) research project organised by Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI) of Norway and the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) in collaboration with Tax Justice Network – Norway. The project investigates effects of tax havens on the domestic revenue system, institutions and citizen participation in African countries. It aims at generating new, contextualised evidence on the political economy of domestic revenue mobilisation, institutional development and state legitimacy in countries exposed to large-scale capital flows. This is because IFFs have many and fair-reaching negative direct and indirect impacts in the short, medium and long term development of a country.
