International Tax and Investment Center

In Washington, the International Tax and Investment Center is an independent nonprofit research and education organization focused on tax reform and investment climates in transition and developing economies. Founded in 1993, it serves as a clearinghouse for information on practices in taxation and investment policy. Through its neutral table, ITIC brings business and government stakeholders together to discuss academic analyses, policy studies and international practices. Its work connects with ministries of finance, customs services and tax authorities in 85 countries, as well as international and regional financial institutions. The organization also develops resources on tax policy and administration, including a VAT toolkit. Its policy discussions address revenue adequacy, fairness, certainty, transparency, stability, simplicity and economic neutrality.
