On April 29, the Workshop on Ethics in Tax Administration took place in Mexico City, organized by CIAT under the auspices of ITC and the World Bank, and the collaboration of the Tax Administration Service of Mexico.

The event brought together over 50 participants from Tax administrations of 23 CIAT member countries from Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe, as well as Kenya and India. Representatives from international organizations such as ATAF, GIZ were also present, as well as the organizing institutions, BM, CIAT, ITC.

The workshop was intended to create a space for discussion and exchange of experiences and best practices in ethics and integrity among tax administrations, and explore ways to develop strategies and develop tools that enable countries to design and implement integrity programs. In response, the CIAT Ethics Committee will be restructured with the support of the Canadian Revenue Agency.

At the closing of the event, Mr. Marcio F. Verdi, CIAT Executive Secretary, thanked the ITC and the World Bank for their sponsorship and stressed the importance of ethics in the Tax Administrations.
