The Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) has launched an intensive training programme for departmental fiscal directors aimed at strengthening local tax management capabilities across Haiti’s regional offices. The curriculum, developed in collaboration with international tax experts, covers advanced topics such as risk‑based audit methodologies, digital compliance tools, and recent amendments to the General Code of Taxation. The training sessions, scheduled to run from August through November 2026, combine classroom instruction with field‑based exercises, ensuring that participants can apply theoretical concepts to real‑world scenarios. Emphasis is placed on building analytical skills, improving decision‑making processes, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the tax administration. By investing in human capital, the DGI expects to enhance the accuracy of tax assessments, reduce evasion, and increase overall compliance rates. Moreover, the programme is designed to create a standardized knowledge base among directors, facilitating coordinated actions and consistent policy implementation. The initiative underscores the DGI’s strategic focus on capacity building as a cornerstone of its fiscal reform agenda.
