IFA maintains close contact with the fiscal activities of the OECD, the EU, the UN, the CIAT, the EATLP, the ECLA, the IOTA, the ICC, and various other organisations, including its Sister Organisation, the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation.
An illustration of IFA's unique role in the world of taxation, where the public and private sectors are natural adversaries, is the fact that at each Congress, a joint IFA/OECD Seminar is held with Panelists belonging to both organisations to discuss issues of common interest.
Also a joint IFA/EU Seminar is organised at each Congress, which aims to discuss international tax measures adopted by the European Commission as well as the impacts of such measures.
