The digital and organizational transformation of tax administrations is the topic of the annual OECD forum that will be organized this year, for the first time, in Greece.
The Governor of the Independent Public Revenue Authority, George Pitsilis, participated in the meeting of the FTA Bureau (Forum of Tax Administrations) of the OECD, last week, in Paris, together with the heads of the tax administrations of the USA, UK, France, Canada, India, Japan, South Africa, Australia, Chile, Norway, Sweden and Singapore.
The main topic of discussion was the conference, which will be hosted this year in Athens, from November 13 to November 15, on the subject of the transformation of tax administrations.
Emphasis on the integration of digitization in the organization and operation of tax administrations
Pitsilis underlined in his speech that the conference will focus on the integration of digitization in the organization and operation of tax administrations, with the aim of increasing efficiency in dealing with tax evasion and serving taxpayers.
The conference aims at:
- increasing efficiency, which reduces the administrative burden for citizens and businesses, allowing tax authorities to allocate resources more strategically
- strengthening compliance tools, which minimize tax evasion and fraud and increase revenue collection
- improving trust and cooperation with taxpayers, which are the basis for a more transparent and fair tax system.
