Overview

The Canadian branch of IFA (with some 650 members) participates both directly and indirectly in the activities of IFA (Central) - the cornerstone of which is the programs and studies carried out in conjunction with the Annual Congress. The Canadian Branch also conducts seminars on current international tax developments and provides financial support to Canadian university-level studies of the subject. The objects of the International Fiscal Association 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 objects through its annual Congresses and the scientific publications relating thereto as well as through scientific research. Although the operations of IFA are essentially scientific in character, the subjects selected take account of current fiscal developments and changes in national legislation.
