The search features are complementary to Content Search, our intelligent online search function. During March the improvements will gradually be released online. For example, in Tax Treaties Database an extra feature ‘search on Treaty News’ will be included. We are confident that the clearer format and the expanded and simplified search features will help you find exactly what you need.

IBFD is gradually introducing two levels of detail in its online publications with regional coverage. The two levels are:

Country Surveys: rates and summaries of the tax system.

Country Analyses: in-depth descriptions of the tax system.

These two levels are clearly indicated in the table of contents. The more in-depth descriptions (Country Analyses) are available for those countries that are considered to have the most practical relevance from the perspective of international taxation and cross-border transactions. The review date of the two levels can differ. Please check the review date in the Latest Information to ensure that you are looking at the most up-to-date information.
