Tax debt management

On 15–16 April 2026, the Intra-European Organisation of Tax Administrations (IOTA) participated in the Southeast Europe Tax Collection and Debt Management Community of Practice, hosted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the Joint Vienna Institute in Vienna, Austria. IOTA was represented by Ivana Donchevska, International Taxation Expert, who contributed to the programme by presenting insights from the IOTA subgroup’s project on the Automation of Tax Debt Management Processes.

On 17 April 2026, IOTA delivered another engaging online event from the IOTA 2026 Work Programme Calendar, a webinar on Debt Recovery Challenges in E-Commerce and the Sharing Economy, bringing together over 100 experts from 27 IOTA member tax administrations to discuss emerging issues in tax debt collection in an increasingly digitalised environment.

IOTA is pleased to introduce the latest VITARA online module, 'Payment and Debt Management,' now the 22nd module in the portfolio, with thirteen modules available in English. Initially, government officials will have access for three weeks, from December 3 to December 24, 2025. Registration must be completed by December 16, 2025, through the IMF training platform. The module will be available again in early 2026.

IOTA is proud to announce the successful completion of two key projects within the IOTA Forum on Tax Debt Management (TDM). 

From October 1-2, 2025, IOTA hosted another insightful hybrid event from its Annual Work Programme Calendar: the IOTA Forum on Tax Debt Management, titled "Navigating New Paths to Unlock Innovative Tax Debt Management Solutions." Held in Skopje, this event was organised in close collaboration with the Public Revenue Office of the Republic of North Macedonia.

We are pleased to announce the publication of one of our latest IOTA Papers. Maarten Luts and Michael Roekaerts author this edition from the Belgian, and Paul (P.R.) van der Smitte and Rob (C.T.) Heeskens from the Dutch Tax Administration.
