On 8 September 2026, the DGI announced the rescheduling of the XVI Jornadas de Ética y Administración Tributaria (Tax Ethics and Administration Conference) to Wednesday, 16 September 2026, from 09:00 to 16:00 hours. Originally planned for 7 and 9 September, the event was postponed due to scheduling conflicts with international speakers from the OECD and CIAT (Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations). The conference will be held in a hybrid format at the DGI headquarters in Montevideo and streamed live via the DGI’s official YouTube channel. The agenda focuses on “Integrity in Tax Administration: From Principles to Practice,” covering the updated Code of Ethics for Tax Officials (Resolution 1500/2025), whistleblower protection mechanisms, conflict-of-interest management in public-private partnerships, and the role of artificial intelligence in detecting ethical breaches.
