Summary

This technical note provides an overview of current issues and ideas that revenue administrations can consider regarding gender equality.

It also provides practical considerations for a revenue administration in building gender perspectives in reform plans and shares several examples that highlight targeted measures that have led to positive outcomes in several countries.
