Many tax administrations have embarked on digital transformation journeys, introducing a range of new initiatives and innovations aimed at reducing burdens and supporting compliance. Digitalisation and Digital Transformation in Tax Administration: Regional Trends and Insights provides an overview of the extent and progress of these efforts across more than one hundred economies, bringing together data by geographical regions to facilitate the comparison of progress, the understanding of current developments, and the identification of emerging practices. While administrations may be at different stages of their transformation, they often pursue similar objectives, face common challenges, and can benefit from shared experiences.
By drawing on data from the Inventory of Tax Technology Initiatives (OECD et al., 2025[1]), supplemented by examples of innovative practices, this publication supports tax administrations in exploring potential approaches to domestic digitalisation and transformation reforms. It should be noted that the underlying data has not been reviewed or validated by the OECD and should be considered as self-reported by the economies concerned.
To facilitate comparison of progress, enhance understanding of current developments and help identify emerging practices, the publication groups the economies covered by the inventory into seven geographical regions: Africa; Central and West Asia; East and South Asia; Central and East Europe; North, South and West Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; and Pacific Islands. More detail on this can be found in the Reader’s Guide.
The publication was prepared by the OECD Secretariat supporting the OECD Forum on Tax Administration (FTA), with assistance from the African Tax Administration Forum, the Asian Development Bank, the Cercle de Reflexion et d’Echange des Dirigeants des Administrations Fiscale, the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators, the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations, the Intra-European Organisation of Tax Administrations, the Pacific Islands Tax Administrators Association and the Study Group on Asia-Pacific Tax Administration and Research.
