Background:
After more than 15 years of implementation of the fiscal decentralization in Indonesia, it is still difficult to judge whether the process is a successful one or not. Most of the second and third tier of the government (provinces and municipals), are now still struggling to increase their local tax revenue while at the same time are largely dependent on central government transfer. However, decentralization framework embarked upon without a clear consensus on the institutional and system required to guide the basic design of local tax policy and administration.

This course is specifically designed for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge of theory and practice of local public finance. Further, the course contents will explore the challenges and opportunities for local government to mobilize their revenue in fiscal decentralization context. The course considers fiscal decentralization from two angles: the optimal sharing of responsibilities and/or optimal of local government capacity to collect taxes. Apart from these theoretical approaches we also analyze from a comparative perspective the actual management local tax work in the world. The contents of this course will support government officials to setup their policy agenda and priority
