About the International tax analysis network
During the course of the 2009 Conference and at a specially arranged meeting the conference delegates, representing 14 tax administrations, discussed the advantages of being able to exchange ideas, approaches and expertise and how these benefits might be maintained through future joint working.
The International Tax Analysis Network is made up of 14 countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, South Africa, and the United States, who will work together to exchange information and expertise and continue the discussions on shared topics of interest. Areas of interest that have been identified include:
- performance management systems and the methods for determining optimal resource allocation in tax operations;
- analytical approaches to better understanding the taxpayer population including the application of behavioural economics to tax compliance modelling and operations;
- modelling risk assessment and predictive analysis in tax yields through better understanding of the impact of audit, penalties and the threat of litigation.
