The Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Mechanism is a non-profit official mechanism for tax administration cooperation amongst the jurisdictions that subscribe to the Belt and Road Initiative (hereinafter referred to as BRI jurisdictions). The vision of the BRITACOM is to facilitate the trade and investment among the BRI jurisdictions through enhanced cooperation in tax administration, and contribute to the fulfillment of inclusive and sustainable development as set out in the United Nations’2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Since its establishment in 2019, the BRITACOM has successfully organized five Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Forums (BRITACOF). More than 20 business seminars have been held focusing on hot topics such as “Raising Tax Certainty”, “Promoting Tax Administrations Digitalization”, “Improving Tax Environment”, and “Reinforcing Capacity Building of Tax Administration”. The BRI jurisdictions have actively shared their innovative products and cases in the field of tax administration.

In order to more comprehensively collect the advanced experiences and best practices in tax administration from BRI jurisdictions comprehensively, and to provide a more complete reference and benchmark for these jurisdictions, the BRITACOM will develop the BRITACOM Product Portfolio of Tax Administration (Product Portfolio) that fully reflects multilateralism and inclusiveness. We hope that the Product Portfolio will serve

as a professional platform for exchange and mutual learning, to realize joint consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits. It is also expected to promote the common improvement of tax administration efficiency and the optimization of the tax business environment among jurisdictions, and driving the cooperation in the tax field to achieve new and greater progress.
