Country Support

ATAF’s technical assistance work provides concrete benefits to the recipient country with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of revenue collection by member countries and strengthening the tax administrations capacity. 

Under the strategic plan, ATAF will respond flexibly and quickly to member country technical assistance requests, whether related to domestic or international tax issues, to improve DRM and shape products that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of member country tax systems. 

The credibility and effectiveness of ATAF’s support for its members rest on its ‘thought leadership’ – its ability to shape the thinking of Ministers, senior officials, business and civil society on tax administration and policy issues among its member countries. It also relies on the unique role that ATAF plays in helping members build sustainable and efficient tax systems.

All ATAF members ‘in good standing’ are eligible for TA. In addition, supply-driven TA with other countries may be considered if the TA Panel considers that TA delivery will benefit the membership commensurate with available resources.
