Mexico City, 3-4 July 2014

The fourth LAC (Latin America and Caribbean) Tax Policy Forum will take place on 3-4 July in Mexico City. This year’s Forum builds on the dialogue launched in Panama in 2010, continued in Colombia in 2012 and in Uruguay last year on key tax policy issues for the region.

The LAC Tax Policy Forum is one of the main streams of work under the LAC Fiscal Initiative (www.oecd.org/tax/lacfiscal), a regional programme that aims to foster fiscal policy dialogue in the LAC region on mobilising domestic resources through improvements to taxation and public expenditure policies. This regional dialogue is supported by the development of internationally comparable data (e.g. Revenue Statistics in Latin America), capacity building workshops, and the preparation of analytical papers. Another stream of work consists of assisting countries with the design and implementation of fiscal reform measures. This work is carried out in close co-operation with strategic regional partners such as CIAT, ECLAC and IDB.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you that a technical event on Tax Incentives will take place the following week (7-11 July) at the OECD Multilateral Tax Centre in Mexico, which will serve to complement and strengthen the activities of this network.
