The G20 Leader’s Summit is being held this week in St Petersburg, Russia, where Pascal Saint-Amans, Director of the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, will provide an update on the G20 initiatives to tackle tax evasion and avoidance by individuals and companies as part of the OECD’s ongoing project on tackling base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS).

It’s vital that they have a seat at the table, so global tax rules aren’t stitched up by the major powers.’
