Parallel session "Is win-win possible? Transparent and sustainable resource taxation". A win-win extractive contract must benefit both the private investor and the community, through the collection of tax revenues. For greater transparency on tax systems, the Ferdi website dedicated to the taxation of mining industries provides access to a large database of legal and tax data on African countries. Over the last 10 to 15 years, this database shows that several major changes have taken place in African countries in the direction of increased taxation of mining industries. The assessment of rent-sharing is useful to governments in implementing mining and oil tax reforms, helping them to negotiate contracts, avoid renegotiation and better forecast revenues.
