Reforming the Lebanese Tax System: A Pillar of Sustainable Universal Social Protection

The Lebanese tax system is fragmented and promotes inequality by taxing the poor more than the rich and enabling tax evasion. A fair tax system is essential to reduce inequalities in Lebanese society and to fund much-needed social protection programmes. This visual sheds light on the current tax system in Lebanon for the year 2022-2023 and proposes necessary reforms that would steer the fiscal space towards financing a universal and inclusive social protection program and ultimately achieving social equity.
