Tax debt management

On 7–8 October 2026, IOTA had the pleasure of organising the Forum on Tax Debt Management in Vilnius, Lithuania, in close collaboration with the State Tax Inspectorate under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania (VMI). The hybrid event brought together 44 IOTA member tax administration experts in Vilnius and welcomed more than 25 registered online participants from four Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) jurisdictions, broadening the exchange of international experience and perspectives. Dr Martynas Endrijaitis, Head of the State Tax Inspectorate, opened the event.

On 15–16 April 2026, the Intra-European Organisation of Tax Administrations (IOTA) participated in the Southeast Europe Tax Collection and Debt Management Community of Practice, hosted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the Joint Vienna Institute in Vienna, Austria. IOTA was represented by Ivana Donchevska, International Taxation Expert, who contributed to the programme by presenting insights from the IOTA subgroup’s project on the Automation of Tax Debt Management Processes.

On 17 April 2026, IOTA delivered another engaging online event from the IOTA 2026 Work Programme Calendar, a webinar on Debt Recovery Challenges in E-Commerce and the Sharing Economy, bringing together over 100 experts from 27 IOTA member tax administrations to discuss emerging issues in tax debt collection in an increasingly digitalised environment.
