ideas and network to develop effective taxation policies.
The 2007 Inter-American Centre for Tax Administrators (CIAT) General Assembly
is being held under the auspices of the Inland Revenue Department at the Hilton
Barbados Hotel, from May 21 to 24. The theme of the 2007 General Assembly is ‘Key Structural Aspects of
the Tax Administrations’. Over the four-day meeting, three key aspects
of tax administration are being discussed, namely: The Organisational Structure;
Models of Relationship of the Central Tax Administrations with other Collection
