Mission and Objectives
Who we are
The Tax Knowledge Building Foundation (‘TKB’) is a non-profit organization based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Our mission is to promote the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by helping (developing) countries to develop robust tax policies and raise the revenues needed to put the SDGs into practice. We aim to strengthen civil society organizations by offering support in the areas of tax and tax policy. This includes tax technical training for tax inspectors, politicians, journalists and NGOs. TKB is open to working with any respectable partner organizations.
What we offer
As our name suggests, TKB works in the area of knowledge development. Our approach is “demand driven”, which basically means that TKB takes its lead from the needs and requests of our partners in different countries. In our experience, capacity building must be tailored to the (often very specific) situation at hand. A guiding notion is that most developing countries have an unexploited tax potential of roughly 6 to 9% of Gross Domestic Product (IMF Building Tax Capacity in Developing Countries , SDN 2023/0065).
How we do it
There are many ways to build knowledge and TKB is in principle open to any of these – subject of course to effectiveness and feasibility. All TKB projects are managed by a designate TKB-project coordinator. At the moment, TKB has followed to main approaches: development of course materials (e.g. helping create a training-business case for the
Business Schools of Kyiv and Tbilisi) and thee-part training courses, about relevant topics.
We are also working on the creation of scholarships and a TKB Academic Prize. Depending on resources we also aim at bigger projects involving ‘tapping tax potentials’ and creating educational institutes locally.
Business – Policy – Scholarship
Typically, the three-part approach combines lectures by (1) an academic partner (to outline the conceptual scope of a topic), (2) a policy partner (to explain the policy contexts including global developments at the OECD or UN level), and (3) a business partner (such as a Big Four firm or a multinational enterprise), explaining how things work in practice. If helpful, the three lectures can be expanded (e.g. with an additional practical lecture) or supplemented with a panel discussion and Q&A session. We focus on quality, coherence and relevance. All this should be made possible with contributions of charity funds.

Policy Plan TKB
TKB is completely independent. We are happy to collaborate with any reputable organization, company, or country to optimize our training and education results, but we are not a service provider and have no specific interest other than helping those seeking assistance in the areas of tax and development. As a Dutch charity, we operate on a non-profit basis, and our general funding ideally allows us to serve many of our clients free of charge or at a low cost.
Fundraising
The foundation’s income currently comes entirely from sponsorship and donations.
Asset Management and Spending of Funds
The foundation’s board determines how the available funds are spent. These funds must contribute to the foundation’s objectives. The funds received also cover management costs such as administrative expenses, any notarial fees, fundraising costs, and the foundation’s
banking fees.
Governance and Remuneration
Board members are not remunerated. The foundation does not employ any staff. A salary ceiling of €50 per hour applies to the hiring of third parties.
