What is IBFD?

The International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) platform provides information about tax practices, charges and tax regulations in most countries, with the possibility of extracting comparative tables through the Compare function. The platform includes legislation, double taxation treaties, commentaries, analyses and news within international taxation.

You can explore specific tax issues in different countries through the Country Tax Guides, and find tables on subjects such as Country Key Features, VAT & Sales Tax and other topics.

EU legislation and international institutions are also covered. There is access to more than 13,000 court decisions with case summaries in Case Law.

Access includes 8 journals and 390 e-books, as well as introductions to relevant topics within tax matters and tax rules in Global Topics.

Use the Glossary to look up definitions of terms and concepts.
