THE BRIDGE IN COOPERATION

Our focus

An effective tax advice is more than a technical receipt for changing legislation or administrative procedures. AGTP stresses the importance of an in-depth analysis of the current situation and the support for innovation. Therefore it focusses on

creation of links between the interests of the donating country or institute and the recipient developing country
engagement of relevant actors in the process of taxation
coordination between the makers of policy and those who implement it
promotion of cooperation with the business community

What makes us special

AGTP is clearly distinguishable from any other traditional type of tax advice because of its

unique approach to advising, based on socio-political investigation into support for changes and recognizing the need for embeddedness of changes in local society and culture,
focus on the practicability and sustainability of solutions and
use of experts with a broad experience in tax, customs and administrative matters at senior policy and ministerial level
