The 9th Meeting of the Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) took place in Dublin on 23-24 October 2014 in Dublin, Ireland. Nearly forty delegations, including international and regional tax organizations, participated in the Ninth Meeting of the OECD Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) and agreed that ever greater co-operation will be necessary to implement the results of the BEPS project and automatic exchange of information. Specifically they agreed:
- A policy for efficient and enhanced co-operation between tax administrations;
- To invest the resources needed to implement the new standard on automatic exchange of information; and
- To improve the practical operation of the mutual agreement process.
The announcement released at the close of the meeting contains more details and contains links to the following publications that have just been released by the FTA:
- Increasing Taxpayers’ Use of Self-service Channels
- Working Smarter in Tax Debt Management
- Tax Compliance by Strategy – Reaching enhanced SME Tax Compliance by Adopting a System Perception

The FTA is the leading international body concerned with tax administration, bringing together the heads of tax administrations from the OECD, members of the G20 and large emerging economies.
