Membership

In addition to the right to register for the Annual Congresses at a reduced rate, members of the IFA receive free of charge the two volumes of the "Cahiers de Droit Fiscal International" published annually, together with the IFA Yearbook and a copy of the Congress Invitation Programme. Accessible to IFA members only are the Documents Databases and the List of IFA members, which are available on the secured part of the website. As an extra service, online versions of the IFA Cahiers as from 1980 have been made available on the website of IFA’s Sister Organisation, the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) in Amsterdam. IFA members in “good standing” (i.e. having no arrears in their annual membership fees) can access these publications free of charge via the secured section of the IFA website. One of the advantages is that new Cahiers will be made available on the Internet as soon as the printed books are available, i.e. annually on June 15. Notwithstanding this additional service, at least for the time being IFA will continue to meet the demand of its members by publishing the Cahiers in book form and on CD-Rom.

Membership of the Association is open to individuals and corporations alike. Corporate members may send two delegates to the annual Congresses and are consequently supplied with two sets of "Cahiers de droit Fiscal International" and two Congress Invitation Programmes.

Candidates must be sponsored by their IFA Branches, to which they should apply. Please click on IFA Branches for an uptodate list of the 60 IFA Branches.

Applications for membership from countries where there is no IFA Branch should be made to the General Secretariat accompanied by a recommendation from two members of the Association. The General Secretariat coordinates the Association's administrative and scientific activities.

The Secretary General, upon review of the material to be distributed, may give permission to third parties to purchase the membership list without email addresses.
