Very soon detailed negotiations on the OECD’s proposed new global corporation tax deal will recommence, with many issues still on the table for agreement.

John Christensen and I have engaged with the OECD and other international financial organisations as a way of advancing tax justice for almost two decades, with the primary goal of advancing the position of developing countries.

We are aware that the current deal as presently drafted does not meet all the hopes of those countries or those who campaign for tax justice. However, we are well aware that the advancement of tax justice has been an iterative process to date and expect that this will continue to be the case, with this current deal being far from the final word on a global deal that will deliver a fair global corporation tax system, to which we hope all aspire in the not too distant future.
