  • ABOUT THE EVENT


    Please join the Global Tax Program (GTP) for a webinar on the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳¡¯s experience in using TADAT to assess tax administrations¡¯ performance and inform operational work at the country level. This event will share reflections, lessons learned and main takeaways from TADAT, a global initiative to support tax administration reform, and the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳¡¯s active sponsorship of this tool.

    With over 110 assessments worldwide in more than 80 jurisdictions during a span of eight years, has consolidated worldwide as a trusted and instrumental diagnostic tool that supports tax administration reform. Ever since its early design stages, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ has been an active technical partner and sponsor organization of the TADAT global missions in different capacities, including multilateral assessment missions worldwide, technical assistance, and training and outreach activities.

    As TADAT moves ahead with its mission to support tax administration reform, a space for reflection and recollection of lessons learned is needed to better adapt this global initiative to the emerging challenges posed to governments by the digital economy and the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. Stocktaking of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳¡¯s experience with TADAT will also help use the tool more strategically going forward.

    WHAT WE WILL LEARN

    ¡¤       Main takeaways as a result of 110+ assessments worldwide

    ¡¤       Experience from the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳¡¯s participation in TADAT missions

    ¡¤       TADAT as a multilateral initiative in support of tax administration reform
