Participants compared the experiences of Brazil, Pakistan, and India. These case studies led to discussions on how information technology, tax administration, and corruption affect tax policy. The task force outlined a list of other countries to review and a plan for augmenting existing literature on tax policy and administration in the developing world. The next meeting, scheduled for March 2005 in Cancun, Mexico, will bring together tax specialists from a range of emerging market countries.
