This workshop is aimed at tax experts and non-tax practitioners engaging in the negotiations of the protocols of the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax.

Join ICTD and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for an in-person only workshop on negotiating the protocols of the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.

This event will provide a space for peer-to-peer learning, allowing participants to engage in discussions about international tax cooperation and explore priorities for protocols, based on the research we’ve initiated. It is an excellent chance to connect with both tax experts and non-tax practitioners involved in the negotiations, with contributions from academia, civil society, and international organisations. Please note that Chatham House rule will be applied.
