This suggests that there is scope to raise more tax revenues to meet growing public spending needs in education and health. To change this, the government has introduced a tax reform aimed at increasing general government revenues by 3 percentage points of GDP over the period 2015-2018 (Box 2). The tax reform will reduce inequality as more than 75 % of revenue increase will come from higher taxes on the top 1% (World Bank, 2015), eliminating tax expenditures and fighting tax evasion and avoidance. In practice, evasion and avoidance by the top income earners is a significant contributor to the low impact of income taxes (Fairfield and Jorrat, 2014).
