IFA around the world

IFA is a neutral, independent, non-lobby organisation and as such the only global network of its kind. As a non-profit organisation, IFA provides a global platform where representatives of all professions and interests can meet and discuss international tax issues at the highest level. IFA was established in 1938 with its headquarters in the Netherlands. Its objects are the study and advancement of international and comparative law in regard to public finance, specifically international and comparative fiscal law and the financial and economic aspects of taxation.

IFA seeks to achieve these objects through its Annual Congresses and the scientific publications relating thereto as well as through scientific research. IFA’s flagship event is its annual congress, attended by approximately 2.000 delegates every year. In 2024 IFA will hold its 76th congress in Cape Town, South Africa from 27 to 31 October 2024.
