Many are the activities carried out throughout these years, such as the Essay Contest, Research Scholarship, Tax Administration Review, participation in Working Groups and Permanent Committees, joint participation in Seminars and Courses as well as in the International Tax Administration and Public Finance Master’s Program.
The new Agreement has a four-year duration and expresses the resolute support to the Mission and Vision which CIAT as well as Spain have in relation to the future development and continuous improvement of the Tax Administrations of Latin America.
