Prof James Wani Igga launches 10th edition Book on Global Comparative Taxation.

On the 26th of this month, Dr. James Wani Igga, vice president for economic cluster, launched his tenth book on global comparative taxation, using South Sudan as its focal point.

The book’s launch was held in Juba town at the Bari Cultural Center, which is located next to Ivory Bank.

Numerous representatives from the government sector and the business that worked tirelessly to get the book published were present at the ceremony.

Speaking at the event, Dr. James emphasized that the book’s main goal was to advance taxation’s fundamental principles from a policy, legal, and administrative perspective; to inform South Sudanese citizens of their rights and obligations with regard to tax laws and their mechanisms; and to educate academics and researchers on the strategies used to raise revenue.

Wani continued by saying that the book also has a stronger impact on educating managers and officers about how to manage public finances while including both the commercial and public sectors.

To enable society and nations to learn about other non-source income and revenue, particularly to South Sudan, as well as be informed that taxes were based on choice rather than a legal obligation, Igga added that matching the South Sudan system and style of tax collection in relation to other Countries in the Continent and international standards.

The book’s main goal was to advance the fundamentals of taxation from a policy, legal, and administrative perspective; to inform South Sudanese citizens of their rights and obligations with regard to tax laws and the mechanisms that support them; and to inform academics and researchers of the strategies used to raise money. Additionally, books have a significant role in educating managers and officers on how public finances are managed while taking into account both the private and public sectors. One of the reasons for the book’s publication was to enable society and the country to identify other non-source income and income, particularly in South Sudan, as well as be able to compare South Sudan’s tax collection system and style to those of other countries in the continent and international standards.

Igga congratulated the South Sudanese Olympic authors, particularly Dr. Francis Mading and Madam Anna Nimiriano of the Juba Monitor who both made significant contributions to the book’s promotion up until the very end.

I acknowledge the relatively small number of South Sudanese who graduated from universities and continued to be dedicated to creating and reading literature. There were about 3,200 novels written in South Sudan, but roughly 90% of them were authored by foreigners, which presented a problem for the local population. This book, which has eleven chapters, took me five full years to read, study, and write.

He came to the conclusion that the book may be very beneficial to mentors of policy makers in the public and private sectors with regard to administrative tasks.
