The programme brings together young participants from BRICS member countries and new entrants to the grouping.
According to a statement from India’s Ministry of Finance, a total of 22 participants from Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India, Russia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are taking part.
The initiative is being conducted under the overarching BRICS 2026 theme ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’. It will train the participants to build technical capacity in international tax matters, with emphasis on cross-border issues and transfer pricing.
Core sessions will focus on the base erosion and profit shifting agenda, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and UN Model Tax Conventions, and current work on global tax reforms including Pillar One and Pillar Two.
Mechanisms for resolving tax disputes, such as advance pricing agreements and the mutual agreement procedure, form another key strand of the training.
Alongside classroom components, the programme includes BRICS Tax Forum discussions. These are aimed at promoting dialogue, sharing operational experience and strengthening cooperation across jurisdictions.
Organisers have framed these elements as part of efforts to enhance skills and contribute to a more “equitable global tax ecosystem”.
Central Board of Direct Taxes member (Legislation) Prasenjit Singh attended the inaugural session as the chief guest.
Speaking at the event, he underlined the need for cross-border cooperation to tackle new tax challenges and stressed that young tax professionals will play a central role in building a “transparent, fair and resilient global tax system”.
