BRICS tax authorities adopt 2026 progress report and create two working groups
Ten tax administrations agreed India-led groups on international taxation and transfer pricing and on revenue statistics.
Tax-authority leaders from ten BRICS members met in New Delhi and adopted the BRICS Tax Progress Report 2026.
The meeting created two India-led working groups covering international taxation and transfer pricing, and revenue statistics. It also formalised an annual programme for young tax professionals, launched a cross-learning lab and approved terms for a tax-support network.
Why it matters
Persistent technical groups can influence tax-administration practice, improve revenue-data comparability and develop shared positions in wider international tax discussions.
SCULTRA point of view
The new structure will be useful if it produces comparable data, practical guidance and public outputs that continue beyond one country's chairship.
Limitations
The release reports agreed structures rather than binding tax rules. It gives no budget, publication timetable, implementation scorecard or country-specific commitment.
