Digitalisation of the Economy

The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS is working on consensus-based, long-term solutions to the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy. During its January 2020 meeting, it decided to move ahead with a two-pillar approach, including: 

• under the first pillar, solutions for determining the allocation of taxing rights ("nexus and profit allocation"),
• under the second pillar, the design of a system to ensure that MNEs pay a minimum level of tax on profits. This is intended to address the remaining issues identified by the OECD/G20 BEPS Project.

 

Events

Building on the previous consultations on BEPS, a set of regional outreach events* on digitalisation carried out in partnership with regional organisations and development banks took place in 2019. While further events were planned for 2020, travel restrictions put in place to help limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus meant that all outreach events for 2020 were put on hold. Between 2020 and 2022, we worked through remote means and were able to deliver four rounds of ‘virtual’ regional consultations that gathered government officials around the world.
In-person meetings resumed during the second half of 2022, with the novelty of having hybrid events to be able to reach as many participants as possible. We expect to continue this format in 2023.
