ATAF strives to build efficient and effective tax administrations in Africa to become the leader on African tax matters, enhance economic development and improve the living standards of the people of Africa.

ATAF serves as an African network that aims at improving tax systems in Africa through exchanges, knowledge dissemination, capacity development and active contribution to the regional and global tax agenda.

Improved tax systems will increase accountability of the State to its citizen, enhance domestic resource mobilisation and thereby foster inclusive economic growth.
