YIN

Young IFA Network (YIN)

 The Young IFA Network (YIN) was established in 2005 to encourage the participation of tax professionals in the International Fiscal Association (IFA) during the early stages of their careers. The aim is to help them build meaningful and lasting relationships with peers from around the world.

YIN is a global community of IFA members aged between 25 and 40. While YIN events are primarily designed for professionals under 40, all IFA members are warmly welcome to participate.

YIN is currently active in 55 jurisdictions and offers a wide range of national, regional, and global activities, including cross-border events. YIN also plays an integral role in the Annual IFA Congress, which features the YIN Seminar, YIN Reception, and YIN Party.
