INTRODUCTION In an effort to provide an ever better and highly qualified tax information service to its member countries, the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations hereby presents the CIAT Thematic Bibliographic Series. The purpose of this series is to disseminate relevant information on specific taxation issues to support the research and study work carried out by the tax administrations of the CIAT member countries. On this occasion, the bibliography deals with Tax Evasion. The material gathered includes studies and papers prepared by technical officials for presentation either at the general assemblies or technical conferences, essays, research scholarships and articles published in the tax administration review, among others. This bibliography is divided into two parts. The first includes papers from 1990 to date, while the second includes works prior to 1990. The main theme has been subdivided into 5 topics and the bibliographical references are organized by year under each of these topics. In turn, they are shown in alphabetical order according to the name of the authors, along with the title of the work and number of pages. In the case of lectures, mention is made of the meetings where they were presented. A brief summary of the contents is included, as well as the link for downloading the electronic document. Through this new documentary contribution, CIAT hopes to continue disseminating the bibliographical material existing in the Specialized Library, thereby expanding the information provided for the benefit of the tax administrations.
