Vanuatu tax reforms

ILO expert reckons income tax more complex than VAT

Speaking at a public forum at the Grand Hotel in Port Vila, Vanuatu, yesterday the visiting ILO Senior Wage Specialist, Daniel Kostzer said he noted that compliance had been an issue in the implementation process of VAT and pointed out that the income tax would just be more complex than managing the current Value Added Tax regime.

Kostzer said what we need is a household survey and a lot of analysis etc that would give us a clear number of our labour market covering household expenditures etc.
