Sri Lanka will host the 32nd Annual Technical Conference of the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA) from 18th to 23rd September 2011 in Colombo.
The Department of Inland Revenue is the main organiser of the Conference under the patronage and guidance of the Commonwealth Secretariat. The 31st Annual Technical Conference of CATA was held in Abuja of Nigeria in October 2010.
This conference is an avenue for tax collectors and tax administrators to acquire skills, knowledge, and competencies to deal with issues emerging in specialized sectors which are changing very fast. The main objective of the conference is to share information through which the participating countries would acquire knowledge of taxation of transfer pricing and taxpayer education as a compliance tool.
The Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA) was established as a result of a decision taken at the meeting of the Commonwealth Finance Ministers in Barbados in 1977. Following the decision, CATA’s constitution was drawn up by an interim management committee elected at a meeting of senior Commonwealth Tax Administrators held in London from 22-23 May 1978. The organization was initially set up with twenty seven commonwealth member countries under the umbrella of Commonwealth Secretariat in London.
Today, the membership of CATA has grown up to 48 countries; making it the largest organization of its kind in the world. Member countries of the CATA are Australia, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Botswana, Burma, Darussalam Cameroon, Canada, Cyprus, Fiji, The Gambia, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Kiribati, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Namibia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, St. Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Samoa, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tango, Trinidad, Tobago, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Kingdom and Zambia.
