• How does the Tax Agency interact with other organizations and countries around the world? Browse the Tax Agency website, sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es , and look for the Tax Agency's relationship with other institutions such as the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT) or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD):

• Find Tax Agencies in two or three Latin American countries: What are their names?

• Find out if there are taxes similar to personal income tax and VAT. Do you have the same denomination?

• Find out if they have any sections that make the tax system more accessible to young people.

• Do it with a non-Spanish speaking country (Brazil, Portugal, Italy, United Kingdom, United States, France). Investigate the same sections as before.

• CIAT is an intergovernmental organization for collaboration between tax authorities in Latin American countries and other countries, including Spain. Find out which countries belong to these organizations and state some of their functions.

• Make a table showing the similarities and differences you find on the websites of the Tax Administrations of different countries.

• Choose (one person or a small group) a country: Write an article explaining the characteristics of the tax system in these countries compared to the Spanish one.
