Mandate

To promote transparent and non-discriminatory treatment of foreign investments and earnings that eliminates tax obstacles to cross-border trade and investment.

  

Priority Projects

  • Provide business insights to shape workable international tax reforms under the OECD inclusive framework – and the proposed development of a new UN convention – emphasizing the need for tax certainty and international coordination.
  • Lead business engagement in key regional forums which have the potential to shape international tax norms – including the Platform for Taxation in Latin America and the Caribbean and the EU Commission Platform for Tax Good Governance.
  • Advocate for the implementation of robust tax dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms.
  • Lead international debate on the appropriate tax treatment of cross-border teleworkers in a post-pandemic world.
  • Support business in navigating the relationship between tax, sustainability policy and “ESG” reporting – including the development of a new report on the role of taxation in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.[1]
