West African Tax Administration Forum
| WATAF was established through an adoption of Agreement by the General Assembly of member states to contribute to the efficacy of tax administration and improved public service delivery in support of the development of countries in West Africa. Its inaugural meeting was held in Abuja, Nigeria, on September 12, 2011. Membership of WATAF is open to all countries of the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS). Article 10 of the WATAF Agreement establishes the General Assembly, Council and Secretariat as its key organs. The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of WATAF and consists of all heads of tax administrations of member states or their authorised representatives. A Council of six (6) members is elected by the General Assembly to convene meetings of the General Assembly, accept applications of new members, prepare and submit strategic plan and work plans of WATAF to the General Assembly and have an oversight of the Secretariat. The Secretariat is headed by an Executive Secretary who reports to the Chairperson of the Council. The Secretariat is responsible for the day-to-day administration of WATAF and for reporting on those operations to the Council on a regular basis. |
