The Network of Tax Organisations (NTO), is a non-profit intergovernmental organisation, which provides a forum to assist Regional Tax Organizations to improve their functionality. The NTO Secretariat is located in Bonn, Germany.
The Network of Tax Organisations (NTO) is a network of regional and international tax organisations that aims to develop a global platform to strengthen tax systems around the world and improve coordination between member countries. The NTO was founded in May 2018 in Ottawa, Canada, and brings together 10 member organisations that represent over 180 national tax administrations worldwide. Jointly, NTO aims to develop the capacity of NTO members and foster international collaboration and dialogue on tax in support of effective Domestic Revenue Mobilisation (DRM).
In August 2024, a comprehensive Data Governance course, including translations of the "Data Governance for Tax Administrations: A Practical Guide" manual into French and Spanish, and three online events were held by the NTO to further knowledge through practical case studies and real-time exchanges with international experts.
