The strategic priorities and outputs of the FTA are overseen by a Bureau of FTA member Commissioners, chaired by Commissioner Bob Hamilton of the Canada Revenue Agency. The FTA’s Vice Chairs are Commissioner Nina Schanke Funnemark of the Norwegian Tax Administration and Commissioner Edward Kieswetter of the South African Revenue Service.
The FTA:
- Brings together Commissioners and other stakeholders at an annual Plenary to discuss global challenges and opportunities and to set the strategic priorities for FTA collaboration.
- Harnesses the collective expertise and experience of its members to undertake a set of time-limited collaborative projects, ranging from knowledge-sharing reports to thought leadership and the development of new practical tools.
- Provides opportunities for in-depth dialogue and cooperation between tax administration experts across tax administration functions in a range of informal Networks and Communities of Interest.
- Engages in dialogue with key stakeholders, including business and taxpayer representatives, tax policymakers and financial regulators, supporting parallel dialogues at a national level.
- Works co-operatively with other OECD fora, international organisations and regional tax bodies.
