Executive Summary
The 7th Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Forum (BRITACOF) was held in Jakarta on October 13, 2026, bringing together tax authority heads from nearly 40 jurisdictions plus international organizations and multinational firms. The forum is a coordination and dialogue event, not a rule-making document — no new tax obligations or rights were created. It reviewed and approved cooperation deliverables such as TAPP 2.0, TSPP 2.0 and the 2026 Compilation, and named a new BRITACOM Secretariat Executive Secretary. The main signal is that Belt and Road tax authorities are deepening cooperation on digital tax administration, tax certainty and AI adoption.
