About Us

Founded in October of 2021 by Lucas de Lima Carvalho as a think tank, the Latin American Tax Policy Forum has since December of 2024 become a platform for the production and curation of content about tax topics that are relevant for Latin America.

What does LATPF do?

LATPF produces posts and reports about tax themes that impact countries in the Latin American region. These include local, regional, and international tax policy issues that affect LatAm jurisdictions. The purpose of LATPF in producing content is to raise awareness about the ideas and interests that unite local academics, practitioners and policymakers in the formation of a truly Latin American front in the global tax policy arena.

LATPF curates publicly available journals about taxation (or with articles about taxation) in Latin America. Our Curated Section contains Curator’s Notes and recommendations of publicly available articles from over 20 selected Latin American tax journals.. The purpose of LATPF in curating content is to raise awareness about Latin American tax journals for researchers across the globe. It is also our purpose to facilitate the exchange of ideas between LatAm authors from different countries and backgrounds, so as to create a network effect of tax policy research that serves Latin American interests and is fueled by Latin American insights and experience.

Who is LATPF for?

LATPF is for all the practitioners and academics that are interested in learning and discussing tax policy themes that are relevant for Latin America.

These include LatAm professionals as well as those from other parts of the world working with or interested in Latin American tax policy.

LATPF welcomes individual members from all fields of work and knowledge, including Tax, Law, Accounting, Economics, Public Policy and others. Institutional Memberships are available for businesses, NGOs, think tanks, schools and universities that wish to provide access to LATPF content for their students, professors, partners and/or employees.
