Its primary activities include organizing informational sessions, seminars, and lectures covering various corporate taxation topics, such as national and international taxes, VAT, customs, and transaction taxes, with third parties allowed to attend when advantageous. The association also keeps track of policy changes, acts as a sounding board for policymakers, and advocates for the tax interests of its member companies. It communicates its positions on taxation's impact on businesses through campaigns, interviews, newsletters, and publications while maintaining relationships with governments and other business groups.
