The Addis Tax Initiative (ATI) members recently approved the\u202fATI Declaration 2025\u202fto reinforce their commitment to financing socio-economic development through domestic revenues.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Experts from the\u00a0Slovak\u00a0Ministry of Finance have\u00a0long\u00a0been active at the international level in public finance management, including development cooperation projects focused on tax issues.\u00a0Slovakia has been shaping the global debate on this topic as a development partner of the Addis Tax Initiative (ATI)\u00a0since 2015.<\/p>\n

Recently, the country has committed itself to strengthen tax systems for the period 2021-2025 through the ATI Declaration 2025. Eduard Heger, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the Slovak Republic, affirmed Slovakia\u2019s support for it in a\u202fshort video<\/a>: “We see that the COVID pandemic magnified the vulnerability of public finance management, and also highlighted the importance of efficient and predictable domestic revenue mobilization. This is what makes the ATI Declaration of 2025 more significant than ever, and we are ready to renew our commitment.\u201c<\/em> Slovakia will contribute to ATI\u00b4s global development efforts by increasing technical assistance.<\/p>\n

QUALITY RATHER THAN QUANTITY<\/h3>\n

Slovakia and other\u202fATI\u202fmembers met at the virtual\u202fATI\u202fGeneral Assembly<\/a>\u202ftoward the end of 2020 to endorse the new\u202fATI\u202fDeclaration 2025. The new\u202f2025 Declaration<\/a>\u202fdoes not primarily focus\u00a0on the quantity of domestic revenues and official development assistance; rather, it\u00a0emphasises the need to reduce inequalities, foster economic growth, advance gender equality and the protection of the environment.\u00a0Based on changing priorities\u00a0within the international tax and development landscape, the ATI Declaration 2025 comprises four new commitments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ATI partner countries commit to enhance domestic resource mobilisation on the basis of equitable tax policies,\u00a0as well as efficient, effective and transparent revenue administrations. ATI development partners commit to support such reforms.<\/li>\n
  2. ATI development partners collectively commit to maintain or surpass the 2020 global target level (USD 441.1 million) of cooperation for country-owned tax reforms.<\/li>\n
  3. ATI members commit to apply coherent and coordinated policies that foster domestic resource mobilisation and combat tax-related illicit financial flows (IFFs).<\/li>\n
  4. ATI members commit to enhance space and capacity for accountability stakeholders in partner countries to engage in tax and revenue matters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ABOUT ATI<\/h3>\n

    The Addis Tax Initiative is a multi-stakeholder partnership that aims to enhance domestic revenue mobilisation in partner countries. It was initiated in 2015\u00a0during\u00a0the Third International Conference on Financing for Development in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to support the implementation of the\u202fAddis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development<\/a>.\u00a0Slovakia joined the ATI in 2015 as\u00a0a\u202fdevelopment partner.\u00a0Since then, more than 60 developing countries, providers of development cooperation and supporting organisations have joined the initiative.<\/p>\n
