Dear Colleagues and Members of IOTA,
As a new year is beginning, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on IOTA’s achievements over the past year and consider the challenges lying ahead in 2025.
On December 3-5, 2024, IOTA had the pleasure of organising the IOTA Case Study Workshop on "Transfer Pricing Challenges in Advance Pricing Agreements." This event, marking the last face-to-face technical activity of the IOTA 2024 Work Programme Calendar, welcomed 44 tax officials from 24 IOTA member administrations, and took place in Budapest, Hungary.
IOTA concludes this year with one final IOTA Paper in December. This paper, authored by Johanna Delac, an analyst at the Swedish Tax Agency, features an article titled "Strategic Foresight at the Swedish Tax Agency."
On December 11, 2024, IOTA successfully broadcast its final digital event of the year, a Webinar on "The Effective Use of New Information Received Under Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 (‘DAC7’)". This was a partnership event with the European Union Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union. The event was joined by over 300 tax officials from 34 IOTA member administrations.
The December edition of the IOTA Papers features an article titled “Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Performance in Tax Administration.” This article is jointly prepared by Dr Panagiotis Ballas, Director of the Tax and Customs Academy, and Vicky Kolovou, Permanent Trainer at the Tax and Customs Academy of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) of the Hellenic Republic.
On 20-21 November 2024, the IOTA VAT Working Group held a meeting on "The use of alternative payment systems in cross-border VAT fraud schemes" at the Norwegian Tax Administration in Oslo, Norway.
From November 26 to 28, 2024, in collaboration with the Austrian Tax Administration, IOTA had the pleasure of organising the IOTA Forum on the Use of Data from the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) in Vienna, Austria. This event was one of the final technical activities of the IOTA 2024 Work Programme Calendar. The AEOI Forum was attended by 41 tax officials in person, while over 160 participants joined online from 37 IOTA member tax administrations.
As the festive season is upon us, our thoughts turn gratefully to all IOTA member tax officials who have contributed to our success and supported our organisation throughout 2024.
