The first ever joint event of CIAT, the Inter- American Center of Tax Administrations and IOTA, the Intra-European Organisation of Tax Administrations brought together over 300 participants from 80 countries around the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities tax administrations are facing in the digital era. During this global tax summit hosted by the Tax and Customs Authority of Portugal, Commissioners from tax administrations, senior tax officials, representatives from regional and international organisations, businesses sector, academia and civil society exchanged views on latest trends and solutions in the field of
tax digitalization.

This report contains the summary of the presentations and debates of each of the 17 sessions featured in the agenda of the 3 – day long Lisbon Tax Summit.

The speakers mentioned the relevance of the event, the wide scope of participation (over 300 delegates, coming from more than 80 different countries, covering the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia), thus allowing a broad exchange of experience, knowledge and best practices among tax administrations, international organisations, businesses and learning and investigation institutions.

It was also emphasized the innovative nature of the event, whereby two regional tax organisations joined efforts and resources to address together an issue of common interest – the impact of digitalization in the various activities of tax administration – giving an important boost to international cooperation in tax matters.
