That the Corona Virus (COVID-19) has had a devastating impact of the health of hundreds of thousands around the world is an understatement. But what could be the virus’s greatest impact is its repercussions on the national and global economies. Businesses are filing for bankruptcy, people are losing their jobs and millions amongst the most vulnerable have lost their sources of income. These inestimable damages caused by the pandemic have compelled governments across the globe to adopt drastic measures in an attempt to contain the economic and social impacts. 

Indeed, as people and businesses continue to lose their economic power in Africa and the World, Tax Administrations have the daunting task to put in place sound policy measures aimed at relieving the most affected and helping them regain their productive capacity.

To support Tax Administrations in this mission, the OECD has released a number of potential measures that could be adopted by these agencies in response to COVID-19. 

The first set of Emergency tax policy responses to the COVID-19
pandemic provides key tax responses that should be considered by Tax Administrations in order to limit the damages to the productivity potential of individual and businesses and protect the vulnerable. Advice in this document includes waiving or deferring employer and self-employed social security contributions and payroll related taxes, providing tax concessions to workers in the health and other emergency-related sectors, providing additional time for dealing with tax affairs etc…
The Second document, the Tax administration responses to Covid-19: support for taxpayers
stresses further the importance of putting in place measures to accommodate taxpayers impacted by Covid-19. These measures include initiative such as deadlines extensions, deferral of payments, remittance of penalties and interests or the suspension of debt recovery to name but a few. 

The OECD is working with ATAF and other regional tax bodies to facilitate the sharing of experiences in addressing the tax challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and possibly, developing more specific guidelines to that effect.
