AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, March 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBFD, the centre of expertise on cross-border taxation, announced today that it has entered into a collaboration and distribution agreement with Tax Analysts, a leading publisher of US tax news, analysis and commentary. The agreement brings Tax Notes US and Tax Notes International – two broad and extensive collections of US federal, US state and international news published by Tax Analysts – to the IBFD Tax Research Platform for clients outside North America. The agreement will enable international tax professionals to read the breaking tax news, in-depth analysis, and tax administration and policy research of both publishers on one platform.
IBFD and Tax Analysts are independent, non-partisan and not-for-profit publishing and research organizations with a shared mission to promote the understanding of taxation and to foster open and informed debate. The synergy between the organizations makes for a natural partnership. Additionally, Tax Analysts’ news and commentary, with a special focus on the US tax reform, provide a very useful complement to IBFD’s extensive explanations of worldwide tax systems, topical analyses, treaty and case law coverage, particularly on the United States.
“It is a dynamic time in the world of international taxation with many developments that make headlines every day: the new US tax bill is a prime example. Staying ahead of these developments is crucial for tax professionals who are relied on for their expertise,” said Maarten Goudsmit, Director of Publishing at IBFD. “We are pleased to offer Tax Notes on the IBFD Tax Research Platform to bring Tax Analysts’ unbiased reporting and expert analysis on breaking news, tax legislation and tax policy to the global tax community.”
The CEO and President of Tax Analysts, Cara Griffith, said, “We, at Tax Analysts, welcome this collaboration with IBFD to better educate the global tax community on tax administration and policy matters. This landmark licensing agreement brings increased tax analysis and research to the tax community around the world.”
IBFD and Tax Analysts will continue to collaborate on joint publications on specific tax topics, such as the upcoming special issue of the IBFD Bulletin for International Taxation on BEPS Action 1, which will focus on taxation of the digital economy. The articles will also be made available as part of selected publications from Tax Analysts. Additionally, the two organizations have agreed to cooperate on educational conferences to promote and disseminate the understanding of cross-border taxation at the highest level.
