NADT Training BRICS Officers in BEPS & International Tax The National Academy of Direct Taxes (NADT), India’s premier institution for training officers of the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) in the Income Tax Department, has initiated a week-long training program for tax professionals from BRICS nations. The initiative, which began on Monday, aims to address global tax challenges, particularly under the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework. BEPS, a key focus area, involves multinational corporations exploiting tax havens to minimize their tax liabilities, a problem being tackled by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a group of 38 countries based in Paris. This training program is part of India’s BRICS chairmanship for 2026 and emphasizes international collaboration in tax governance. Participants include tax officials from Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, the UAE, and Ethiopia, alongside six Indian officers. The curriculum covers OECD and UN model conventions, global tax reforms such as Pillar One and Pillar Two, and dispute resolution mechanisms like advance pricing agreements and mutual agreement procedures. Trainees will also engage in discussions to draft working papers on international taxation, focusing on enhancing cross-border cooperation, technical developments, and tax practices. The inaugural session was addressed by Prasenjit Singh, a member of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) responsible for legislation. Singh highlighted the importance of international collaboration in combating tax evasion and the role of young professionals in building a transparent and resilient global tax system.#brics #central_board_of_direct_taxes #national_academy_of_direct_taxes #indian_revenue_service
