Responsible Tax Administration

We have caught a glimpse of the tax administration of the future, encompassing advancements on the policy front (such as expansion of cooperative compliance programs) as well as innovations in technology (including the use of AI) and challenges in the field of data (big data flows, third party data, data governance questions). At the same time, new risks are beginning to surface as tax administrations embark on this transformative journey, particularly in relation to data management and technological integration. 

The WU Global Tax Policy Center (GTPC) at the Institute for Austrian and International Law, WU Vienna, has been studying the tax administration of the future and how to achieve responsible tax administration (which addresses risk and safeguards taxpayer rights while protecting tax administration simultaneously).

Community of Practice

The WU GTPC has launched a community of practice for tax experts to sustain the conversation and facilitate the sharing of ideas, research, projects, and practical experience related to the future direction of tax systems. As a neutral space that encourages open exchange and welcomes contributions from diverse stakeholders – including academia, government, international organizations, think tanks, non-governmental institutions, and the private sector – the university is ideally suited to host a community of practice that includes thought from multiple perspectives.
