Global Partnerships

The CRA places considerable emphasis on collaboration and multilateral engagement as a means for channeling support to partner countries on matters related to international tax and domestic resource mobilization. As a member of three regional tax organizations – the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT), the Centre de Rencontre et d'Études des Dirigeants des Administrations Fiscales (CREDAF) and the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA) – the CRA works with a broad range of countries to improve tax administration practices, support inclusion in global tax dialogue and develop tools to strengthen capacity in key areas. For example, the CRA provides experts to the OECD Global Relations Programme and supports the capacity building efforts of other international organizations. As an example of the CRA's approach to delivering assistance, the Agency, partnered with CIAT and CATA – along with the OECD and World Bank Group, through its SEMCAR program – to organize an in-person workshop in 2016. The workshop brought together Caribbean members from CIAT and CATA, and focused on strengthening risk assessment approaches and techniques.
