Who we are
The International Tax Planning Association (ITPA) is a multi disciplinary association for professionals who advise taxpayers on cross‑border transactions. Founded in 1975 and comprised of bankers, trust officers, finance directors, accountants and lawyers, ITPA is the only association devoted solely to the study of international tax planning. Members participate in an inclusive community that focuses on sharing knowledge and best practices in tax planning.
Founded in 1975, ITPA remains unique in being the only association devoted solely to the study of international tax planning from the taxpayer’s perspective.
Our mission
Connecting Leaders
Our objective is clear, to bring together practitioners across jurisdictions to exchange information, share expertise and shape best practice in international tax planning. We do this through three core channels:
Our values
Excellence
We set high standards for conference content, resource quality and membership engagement.
Integrity
We focus on practitioners acting in the interests of taxpayers with full professional responsibility and ethical standards.
Global perspective
We cover multiple jurisdictions and build bridges across borders to strengthen international practice.
Practicality
Our events and materials are designed to be directly useful in professional work rather than purely academic.
