ABOUT

BRITA•Macao, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative Tax Academy of Macao is one of the four tax training institutions established to date under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Capacity Enhancement Group (BRITACEG) which, under the auspices of the Belt and Road Initiative Tax Administration Cooperation Mechanism (BRITACOM), aims to provide a platform for facilitating dialogue, strengthening cooperation in tax administration, and improving capacity building for jurisdictions, international organizations, academic institutions, businesses and other stakeholders who are willing to be involved in tax administration cooperation along the Belt and Road.

BRITA•Macao, operating alongside the Financial Services Bureau of Macao, is constructing the network of the Belt and Road Initiative Tax Academies (BRITAs) which will serve as a solid base to provide trainings in a multilateral environment and also serve as a platform for tax officials to share views and exchange ideas.

One of the landmark outcomes of the BRITACOM is the establishment of four BRITAs which will be set up in Nur-Sultan of Kazakhstan, Beijing, Yangzhou and Macao Special Administrative Region of China respectively in a bid to enhance tax administration capacity of the BRI jurisdictions through tax-related trainings, research and technical assistance programs by giving full play to their existing training institutions and distinctive expertise.

As one of the founding BRITAs, BRITA•Macao aims at providing cut of the edge training by adopting top-notch standards and contributes to the research and technical assistance envisaged by the BRITACOM initiative.

Based on the historical ties, the BRITA•Macao also aims at continuing strengthening the close and extensive connections with the Portuguese-speaking countries spanning across four continents and covering a total population of 260 million. Traditionally, Macao SAR has played the role as a Commercial and Trade Co-operation Service Platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. In this context, the BRITA•Macao will dedicate particular attention to the development of tax-related trainings, research and technical assistance programs to Portuguese-speaking countries.
