This workshop was addressed to officials that work in the area of tax policy, mainly involved in tax modeling within the Ministry of Finance or the Tax Administrations of their respective countries.

The main purpose of this event was to provide participants with the necessary knowledge about the principles and techniques of micro-simulation that are required for the modeling of collection impacts resulting from changes in tax policy in areas such as the Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax, as well as the Value Added Tax.
