Hosted by the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, the International Tax Forum (ITF) is an annual event that serves as a dynamic platform for engaging in meaningful discussions, sharing ideas, and exchanging knowledge on various taxation topics. The ITF aims to gather public comments on recent and emerging issues in taxation, both international and domestic. By engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders, including speakers and participants from other countries, the forum promotes a comprehensive dialogue that captures the multifaceted perspectives necessary for effective tax policy formulation. Participants range from government officials, academics, and prominent experts from notable international organizations to representatives from the private sector and taxpayers. This inclusive forum ensures that the recommendations developed are robust and reflective of the real-world challenges and opportunities present in global taxation.
In addition to policy development, the forum is dedicated to identifying and addressing crucial tax issues that require improvements. By pinpointing these critical areas, the forum plays a role in driving enhancements that improve the overall efficiency and fairness of the Indonesian tax system. Furthermore, the forum is committed to enhancing the competence of government officials, particularly those in the Ministry of Finance (MoF), by providing them with the latest insights and training on tax issues. This focus on capacity building ensures that MoF officials are well-equipped to navigate complex tax issues and implement policies that promote sustainable economic growth.
