Effective Use of Intelligence and Research to Find New Segments and New Areas of VAT Fraud and Tax Evasion

Tax administrations need to effectively research and make use of intelligence by analysing and evaluating information to be ahead of the fraudsters and have a possibility of preventing significant tax losses. This event will explore how tax administrations manage to stay "on top of the situation" and how this is achieved. Our aim is to provide opportunity for delegates to achieve a greater practical understanding and awareness of  the intelligence and research methods used by IOTA member countries,  the methods and ways of co-operating with others, nationally and internationally and  best practices to resolve specific cases presented by the delegates. During the workshop presentations will highlight issues relating to the above mentioned subjects, to be followed by group discussions allowing delegates to reflect on experiences, discuss problems and solutions by a free and informal exchange of information.
