The head of the Federal Tax Agency noted Russia’s “considerable progress” in employing IT technology for tax administration in recent years.

“Our agency systematically introduces the most advanced technology, which allows us to operate more efficiently,” he said, adding that Russia has become an example for many countries in this field.

The heads of tax agencies from 46 countries – including Australia, the UK, Canada, China, India, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, the US, Russia, France, South Africa and Japan – have arrived in the Chinese capital for the forum.

The event runs from May 11 to 13, and participants will discuss ways “to make better use of data and analytics as well as in the application of e-services and digital solutions,” according to the forum’s website.
