The report also included updates on tax transparency, considering the implementation of the common reporting standard and the exchange of information, and discussed the ongoing efforts to address the needs of developing countries in tax matters.
The OECD has also published, jointly with the IMF, a report on ‘Tax certainty’, exploring the sources of tax uncertainty and how this affects business decisions, outlining a set of concrete and practical approaches to help policy makers and tax administrations shape a more certain tax environment. The report’s recommendations included:
· reducing complexity and improving the clarity of legislation through improved tax policy and law design;
· improving tax dispute prevention and resolution at the domestic and international level; and
· using innovative tools to enhance certainty in tax administration, including cooperative compliance programmes, advance pricing agreements, as well as simultaneous and joint audits.
