Brief Introduction
Understand taxation for development and sustainability in mining.
Description
Tax revenues are likely to be the core benefit of mineral extraction for host States. To promote mining for development, States must design mineral fiscal regimes that consider the interests of a wide range of stakeholders. Their choices have major implications for public finance, development and sustainability.
This course will help policy makers, managers in private sector companies, and activists understand these choices and their implications.
