Human Rights and Access to Justice in Guatemala: Former Attorney General of Guatemala

2:45 pm

Ms Blanca Blanco:

Guatemala has one of the lowest tax revenues. During the peace accords it was encouraged to raise taxation to 16%, but it is currently at 12%. There is no political will to introduce tax reform measures in the country so that revenue cannot be reinvested in strengthening education and-or health.
