1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 What is the purpose of this Handbook?

This handbook is primarily a guide for member country co-ordinators of member country experts, the member country experts, the contact persons in Non-OECD Economies (NOEs) who are responsible for selecting/nominating participants, and the participants themselves.  The handbook sets out important practical information essential to the people who are directly or indirectly involved in the operation of the OECD’s programme of co-operation with NOEs.

The OECD’s programme of co-operation with NOEs on international taxation is a complex programme that operates through a number of different venues and forms.  Every year, about 60 OECD events on tax policy and administration issues are held at the OECD Multilateral Tax Centres in Vienna (Austria), Budapest (Hungary), Chonan (Korea), Ankara (Turkey), and in Mexico City (Mexico) from October 2004, at various in-country tax centres in Russia, China, India and Malaysia and at regional locations in South Africa, North Africa, the Baltics countries, Asia (e.g. Japan and Hong Kong) and Latin America (e.g. Argentina, Chile and Brazil).

This handbook covers the practical arrangements concerning the organisation of events at the OECD Multilateral Tax Centres and the in-country tax centres in Russia, China, India and Malaysia.  The organisation of OECD events at the other locations has not been specifically included but the basic principles on the nature and provision of events still hold true.  Practical information about the operation of events in these other locations can be obtained from the Secretariat.

The handbook starts with a description of the organisational structure, philosophy and goals of the OECD in general and the aims of the partnership programmes with NOEs on taxation in particular. It then deals with all the practical aspects of the partnership programmes, including the nature and objectives of different events, expert and participant selection and the evaluation and feedback processes. The handbook also provides information about the roles of all the parties involved in the partnership programmes, including guidance notes for the experts and participants to explain what they should expect in respect of the planning, organisation and delivery of these events.  The appendices contain the evaluation form for participants, event leader and OECD experts, general descriptions of the multilateral tax centres and China and the logistical information for these centres. 

We have tried to be as comprehensive and transparent as possible when writing this handbook. However, if you cannot find the information you need, please contact Ms Christine Hude at the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (see contact emails below).

We welcome your comments and suggestions.

1.1.2 Who will find this Handbook useful?

This handbook is an important resource for

  • member country co-ordinators who are responsible for locating appropriate member country experts to participate in the partnership events;
  • member country experts who are attending the events as experts;
  • contact persons in NOEs who are responsible for selecting/nominating participants; 
  • participants who are attending the partnership events; and
  • officials from member and non member countries responsible for assessing the significance of these events in the context of their countries’ overall development of tax policy.

To ensure that the high quality of our events is maintained and improved, it is helpful if everybody involved in the partnership programme understands the significance of the roles that they play.
