At the Crossroads:
Where Do We Go From Here?
As countries seek to address challenges posed by globalization and digitalization, there has been a discernible global shift towards greater cooperation and regulation in international tax matters.
The OECD continues to work on the implementation of its two-pillar solution aimed at addressing tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy, while some countries have implemented or proposed digital services taxes to target revenues generated by digital services. There has also been a push for greater tax transparency, with many countries adopting measures to require more disclosure from corporations regarding their tax practices, including country-by-country reporting and enhanced requirements for beneficial ownership disclosure. To address climate change, some jurisdictions are aiming to align tax systems with climate goals and exploring carbon taxes and other environmental taxes as part of their fiscal strategies. Alongside all these developments, the UN is working towards a new framework convention on international tax cooperation that may represent a major shift in how international taxation is approached, and with the potential to significantly impact the architecture of global financial systems.
Don't miss the opportunity to join our panel of experts in understanding these changes that will have a profound impact on corporations and businesses everywhere.
