About the NTO

The Network of Tax Organisations (NTO) continues the efforts to facilitate peer-exchange and collaboration as part of NTO value proposition 1: to develop a vibrant platform for peer exchange and collaborations among its members.

The NTO aims to develop this vibrant platform for peer exchange and collaboration not only at the Secretariat level of its ten member tax organisations, but also among the tax authorities affiliated with NTO members – examples are former NTO webinars on contemporary issues of interest to tax administrations, like tax compliance and cryptocurrencies, tax and gender, and environmental taxes, among others, which have brought together officers from these tax administrations to share their knowledge and national experiences.
