Why it was recommended

Finding. DRMS2 lists: Enhance transparency on tax incentives.

Problem. Stated in DRMS2 under its strategic objectives.

Strength of the evidence behind it: medium.

Note. The PFM Act 2015 s.77 already requires quarterly reports to Parliament on every exemption, the tax foregone and its benefits (PFMA-S77); whether these reports are published on time is the evidence to find.

Who has the power to act

MoFPED (policy; presents tax bills) and Parliament (enactment). Legal power checked: PFM Act 2015 s.8 (the Minister presents tax and revenue bills to Parliament); opened, PFMA-S8.
