Introduction
The Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Mechanism (BRITACOM), since its inception, has adhered to the principle of “planning together, building together, and benefiting together”. Under the guidance of the Wuzhen Action Plan (2019-2021) and the Nur-Sultan Action Plan (2022-2024) , the BRITACOM has facilitated ongoing multilateral dialogues on taxation and actively fostered a shared understanding of collaborative development within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) jurisdictions. To promote mutual learning and win-win cooperation in tax administration of the BRI jurisdictions, we have jointly formulated and unanimously adopted the Hong Kong Action Plan (2025- 2027) .
We will enhance dialogues via the Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Forum (BRITACOF) and other events to provide a permanent platform for dialogue among relevant parties to engage in tax administration cooperation, share good practices and identify emerging tax issues that require joint responses with innovative solutions through tax administration cooperation. We will continue to strengthen the comprehensive portal function of the BRITACOM official website, optimize the web-page design, actively seek information from all BRI jurisdictions, update the content in a timely manner, and provide comprehensive, systematic, and effective information for relevant parties. The Belt and Road Initiative Tax Journal (BRITJ) will be published regularly each year and an annual report will be released to demonstrate the progress and achievements of the BRITACOM comprehensively.
We will develop an annual event plan including the BRITACOF, seminars, theme day events, trainings, and webinars for relevant parties to boost engagement in relevant activities, aiming at seeking effective solutions to common issues and helping the BRI jurisdictions enhance their tax administration capacity.
We will persist in our efforts across the four task forces of Raising Tax Certainty, Promoting Digital Transformation of Tax Administration, Improving Tax Environment, and Reinforcing Capacity Building of Tax Administration. We encourage Member Tax Administrations and Observers of the BRITACOM Council in relevant task forces to actively engage in their respective areas of focus, and invite those who have not yet participated in any task force to join at least one based on their circumstances. Furthermore, we encourage members of the Advisory Board to contribute their expertise. We are committed to ensuring that this Action Plan is implemented in an inclusive and pragmatic manner through in-depth study and discussion on key issues.
We will further promote cooperation with other regional and international organizations, academic institutions, and intermediary agencies to facilitate the development of the BRITACOM.
