Debt:Tax Ratios RegionGross Debt:Tax RatioNet Debt:Tax Ratio Middle East GCC5.8(-) Europe Government Debt stands at a significantly less sustainable level in the METAC region than elsewhere in the Middle East and Europe But increased Government expenditure will be required to finance development initiatives

Redressing the Imbalance This situation can be improved through:  Reducing Government spending – but there are limits to what can be achieved  Economic growth – but this will require increased investment, and time  Fiscal regime – but raising rates will not be a sustainable option  Efficient and effective revenue administration, resulting in higher levels of compliance

Taxpayer Compliance  Non-compliant taxpayer behavior is not selective  A taxpayer who is high-risk for one tax type will probably be high-risk for all tax types  Systems, organizational models and working practices that facilitate a single view of the taxpayer are essential to effective compliance management

Tax – Customs Interaction  Tax and Customs Revenue functions are closely related  The effective exchange of information and coordination of activities will benefit both functions  Obstacles to achieving better integration exist, but it will be worth identifying and addressing them
