The PCT Secretariat recently welcomed a new team member – Mariza Montes de Oca León as an environmental tax specialist. In this short interview, Mariza talks about her new role with the PCT Secretariat and how she will support the PCT Partners in deepening their joint agenda on environmental taxation under the PCT’s Tax & SDGs Workstream.

On December 1, 2021, the PCT Secretariat gave a presentation on the Toolkit on Tax Treaty Negotiations at a webinar on "The Tax Treaties Explorer: New Data for Better Negotiation" hosted by the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD) and the Global Tax Program of the World Bank.

The Platform for Collaboration on Tax (PCT) enhanced its support to countries in the area of domestic resource mobilization during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the PCT Progress Report 2021. The report, released on October 20, 2021, highlights that the PCT Partners are committed to deepening their tax collaboration further.

The new report by the PCT Partners discusses the development of the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS) through key issues and questions raised in the regional MTRS workshops. These workshops were separately organized by the PCT, its member organizations, and regional partners for the regions of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and the small states in Asia and the Pacific.

On July 21, 2021, the PCT Secretariat spoke on TADAT's episode 11.3 of the "What's in Your Toolbox" podcast series. Please visit this page to listen to the podcast.
