A Resource for Gender Responsive Budgeting Groups
Gender Responsive Budgeting involves analysing both how money is raised, (for example through taxation), and how money is spent (for example on public services, social security or investment in infrastructure).
These pages give examples of WBG analysis in different policy areas and highlight some of the main gender issues to consider in each area. They cover:
Direct taxation: personal taxation
Direct taxation: company taxation
Indirect taxation: Value Added Tax and excise taxes
Tax allowances
