ITSA Unveils New Identity Reflecting the Future of Tax Security

The International Tax Stamp Association (ITSA) has adopted a new name that reflects a major shift in the technologies and systems used to control regulated products. The organisation will now be known as the International Tax Stamp, Authentication and Traceability Association, albeit retaining the well-established ITSA acronym by which it is widely recognised in the industry.

This change is a response to dramatic shifts in the landscape of fiscal marking and supply chain control over the past decade. When ITSA was founded in 2015, its primary focus was on promoting the role of secure excise tax stamps in protecting government revenues and combating illicit trade in products such as tobacco and alcohol. While these programmes remain central to the association’s work, modern systems have expanded far beyond the traditional concept of a fiscal stamp.
