The strategic priorities and outputs of the FTA are overseen by a Bureau of Commissioners, chaired by Commissioner Nina Schanke Funnemark of the Norwegian Tax Administration. The FTA Vice Chair is Commissioner Rob Heferen of the Australian Tax Office.
The FTA:
- Brings together Commissioners and other stakeholders at an annual Plenary to discuss global challenges and opportunities and to set the strategic priorities for FTA collaboration.
- Harnesses the collective expertise and experience of its delegates to undertake a set of time-limited collaborative projects, ranging from knowledge-sharing reports to thought leadership and the development of new practical tools.
- Provides opportunities for in-depth dialogue and cooperation between tax administration experts across tax administration functions in a range of informal Networks and Communities of Interest.
- Engages in dialogue with key stakeholders, including business and taxpayer representatives, tax policymakers and financial regulators, supporting parallel dialogues at a national level.
- Works co-operatively with other OECD fora, international organisations and regional tax bodies.
