OECD report on role of tax administrations

The OECD has published a report on the challenges and opportunities for tax administrations around the world in supporting wider government responses to the coronavirus crisis. The report, Tax administration responses to covid-19: assisting wider government, discusses new responsibilities that tax administrations are taking on to assist governments in the provision of support to taxpayers and citizens. It also highlights the opportunities to build on lessons learned to improve the resilience and agility of tax administrations for the future. Digitalisation of services and tools features prominently, noting that tax administrations have been required to build new IT solutions at scale and speed.
