Global discussions on how to fundamentally reshape the international tax architecture are ongoing, with the Inclusive Framework now focusing on two pillars aimed at (i) addressing issues of taxation in the digital economy; and (ii) introducing an effective global minimum tax. At the same time, unilateral proposals have been introduced or are contemplated to address these issues, e.g. in the form of taxes on digital services and specific types of minimum taxation. This raises important questions for developing countries: How will an agreed global minimum tax affect them? What should be their domestic tax policy response? How should developing countries assess the different proposals for taxing digital services? The conference will bring together experts, policy makers and stakeholders to discuss these issues.
