IFA sponsors an annual week-long Congress held in a major city throughout the world.  Formed in 1938, the International Fiscal Association (IFA) is a leading non-governmental, international organization dealing with tax matters.

Headquartered in Rotterdam, IFA is comprised of company tax personnel, tax advisers, university professors, and government officials.  IFA provides a unique forum for discussing international tax questions.  IFA now has approximately 12,000 members worldwide in over 100 countries, of which 62 have national branches.

The objectives of IFA are the study and advancement of international and comparative law in regard to public finance and specifically international and comparative fiscal law and the financial and economic aspects of taxation. These objects are achieved by publication of a scientific research study of two major subjects annually, seminar papers on topical fiscal matters, and cooperation with related organizations such as the OECD and the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation.
