The members of the OECD’s Inclusive Framework recognised, on Friday 11 April in a public statement, the importance of securing certainty and stability in the international tax system and the need to continue discussions on the Two-Pillar Solution (see EUROPE 13602/20).
Nearly 450 delegates from 135 countries and jurisdictions, as well as observers from 11 international organisations, gathered in Cape Town, South Africa, from Monday 7 to Thursday 10 April, for the 17th plenary meeting of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS).
Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General of the OECD, welcomed the results of the meeting. “It sets a clear direction for the future of this valuable and important platform for international tax cooperation, including to continue the discussions on the Two-Pillar Solution to secure certainty in the international tax system”, he said in a statement.
“In addition to continuing to explore work on BEPS and the Two-Pillar Solution, the Inclusive Framework will also explore emerging tax issues and continue to find solutions which protect country tax bases, mobilise domestic resources, and foster growth”, said Manal Corwin, Director of the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration.
The members also decided that new areas of common interest would be explored, such as international mobility and the interaction between taxation, inequality and growth.
