| Summary: | The growth of the peer-to-peer (P2P) economy over the last decade has captivated both stock markets and policymakers alike.

What is clear is that while the P2P economy has potentially exacerbated existing policy, administrative, and revenue-mobilization challenges associated with small business taxation-such as the choice of the tax base and how to set tax thresholds-, the technology behind P2P platforms presents a valuable opportunity to eventually solve them. |
