Taxes do matter! Like them or not, tax revenues pay for all the public services we use: schools and hospitals in our communities; roads and bridges that we take to go to work; police and sanitation workers who keep our neighbourhoods safe and clean. That’s why Peter has been searching all through his career to find fit-for-purpose solutions that enable national and local authorities to become more efficient in revenue collection and to improve service delivery to their citizens. After working amongst others for three decades as project director and senior manager on both national and local taxes in Africa, Middle East, Balkan and Asia, he is now continuing his quest for the holy tax-grail as an associate expert for VNG International.
