New research shows that in many poor countries, taxes and transfers do not reduce poverty — they often make it worse. Unlike rich nations, where progressive taxes and cash transfers cut inequality sharply, developing countries rely heavily on regressive consumption taxes (like VAT) and provide very limited cash support to the poor. As a result, poor households frequently pay a similar share of their income in taxes as the rich, while receiving little in return.

The conclusion is clear: redistribution works, but in the poorest countries it has barely been tried. Making tax systems more progressive and shifting spending toward direct cash transfers — even modestly — could significantly reduce poverty and inequality in the short term, while long-term growth and better public services remain essential.
