The "OECD Days for Tax and Development 2026" event will bring together policymakers, heads of tax administrations, international and regional organizations, as well as representatives from the business sector and civil society, to discuss how stronger tax capacity building, better fiscal policies, and improved tax compliance can achieve greater development impact in developing countries.

It will also discuss how to transition to smart tax systems that rely on modern technological standards and how artificial intelligence technology can serve this vital sector, which is a strong financial resource for state budgets.
