The primary purpose of the series is to provide information that will facilitate dialogue among members on tax administration issues, and which may also identify opportunities for members to improve the design and administration of their respective tax systems.
There is a considerable amount of useful information that could be shared on the design of tax systems and aspects of their administration. This first series, while representing only a modest effort to commence a journey that will take some years to realize, nevertheless contains a useful array of information that will be of interest to tax officials in member and non-member countries, and to other observers. It is intended that this information series be updated around every two years, and that it evolves to become the definitive source of comparative tax administration-related information for OECD countries.
