printer Mail

The OECD/UN ‘Tax inspectors without borders’ (TIWB) programme is ‘delivering excellent value for money’ according to the latest TIWB annual report.

TIWB programmes have been directly responsible for increased tax revenues in developing countries estimated at US$414m, representing a 100-fold return on programme costs up to April 2018, according to the 2017/18 report.

Eleven countries, including the UK, have deployed serving tax officials as part of TIWB to provide hands-on assistance to auditors in developing countries to strengthen their effectiveness in taxing multinational enterprises. The programmes deal mainly with transfer pricing and international taxation, including permanent establishment, validation of management and service fees and the valuation of intellectual property.

TIWB has 34 programmes currently running and a further 20 are in the pipeline. It has fully completed 10 programmes. Its target is to deliver 100 deployments of tax auditor experts to developing countries by 2020.
