The operator was LLC "RESTEC."
The event brought together 1,119 in-person participants, including representatives of government bodies, public organizations, the business community, and all categories of taxpayers. The forum's online broadcast garnered 5,154 views. The geographical reach of participants spanned the entire country—from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka—with specialists from Belarus and Kazakhstan also tuning into the broadcasts.
This year's Forum was timed to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. The main theme was the implementation of human-centric principles in public administration. The business program included 12 events featuring 58 experts. Specialized seminars and workshops, applied and discussion sessions, the plenary meeting, and the Youth Forum all drew full halls.

As is tradition, the forum venue hosted workshops in the format of individual and group consultations on using the Federal Tax Service's electronic services and on taxation issues for individuals and legal entities.
An exhibition was also presented featuring posters by the winners of the Social Advertising Competition on Tax Topics among higher educational institutions, as well as the children's drawing competition on the theme "What I Know About Taxes."
