Welcome IFA Members

Edgar M. Anaya Bourgoing
President of the Organizing Committee
We are delighted to invite you to our 75th Congress of the IFA in Cancún, Mexico.
Our congress will take place from October 22 to 26, 2023, in the heart of the Mayan Riviera, where we will put together the latest scientific topics, as well as a variety of social and cultural activities providing a unique opportunity to enrich us personally and professionally.
Our venue will be the Moon Palace Arena Convention Center, an extraordinary and safe complex that provides a great opportunity for excellent business interaction. International tax practitioners, judges, adjudicators, academics, and representatives of numerous governmental and non-governmental organizations will have a unique forum to exchange, debate, meet and interact with friends, colleagues, sponsors, and exhibitors.
Prepare to explore Cancun and the Mayan world and get immersed in the cradle of the Mayan civilization, rich in history and irresistible nature; it is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. So whether before or after our IFA Congress, take time to enjoy our world-famous beaches, culture, amenities, and nightlife as Cancun offers a wide range of activities for visitors of all ages, from a splendorous landscape to a visit to the mystical ruins.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Cancun!
About IFA
The International Fiscal Association (IFA) was established in 1938, with its headquarters in the Netherlands. It is the only non-governmental and non-sectoral international organisation dealing with fiscal matters. IFA is a neutral, independent, non-lobby organisation and as such the only global network of its kind.
Its objects are the study and advancement of international and comparative law in regard to public finance, specifically international and comparative fiscal law and the financial and economic aspects of taxation.
IFA seeks to achieve these objectives through its Annual Congresses and the scientific publications relating thereto as well as through scientific research.
Along with the increasing globalization of the world's economies, international tax issues have become more numerous and of greater importance. Since the end of World War II IFA has played an essential role both in the development of principles of international taxation and in providing possible solutions in their implementation.
IFA has grown to a truly global association with over 12,500 members from 114 countries. In 70 countries IFA members have established IFA Branches. Direct membership is possible in countries where there is not an IFA Branch.
As a non-profit organisation, IFA has been able to achieve great success, since it has offered the necessary forum to experts belonging from both the private and public sectors, including courts, academics, and governmental and non-governmental organizations, where opinions on topics of international taxation can be exchanged with respect for each other’s background and responsibilities.
