Bhutan launched the Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB) programme in collaboration with India.
It is a collaborative effort between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (OECD).
The programme has been launched in Bhutan, with India serving as the Partner Jurisdiction.
The Tax Expert for this programme has been provided by India.
This programme, which is expected to last about 24 months, aims to assist Bhutan in strengthening its tax administration by transferring technical know-how and skills to its tax auditors and sharing best audit practises in collaboration with the UNDP and the TIWB Secretariat.
The program’s primary focus will be on international and Transfer Pricing.
The TIWB Initiative aims to facilitate the sharing of tax audit knowledge and skills with developing-country tax administrations through a targeted, real-time Learning by doing approach.
Selected experts will work directly with local tax officials on current audits and audit-related issues pertaining to international tax matters as well as general audit practises applicable to specific cases.
