Tax is an environmental, social and governance (ESG) metric and a driver of sustainable growth. ESG is an umbrella term that covers the duties of businesses in relation to climate and society, and priorities such as purpose that go beyond value creation. Governments and supranational bodies also play a vital role in encouraging such thinking and the actions it can spur.

The recommendations of the BEPS Project, led by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are at the root of much of the recent coordinated governmental activity on perceived international tax avoidance techniques. The recommendations published in October 2015 have been, and are being, supplemented with additional standards and guidance.

The DAC6 directive has been in place since June 2018. It created new reporting obligations for affected intermediaries and taxpayers, depending on the nature of the arrangement and local law.
It applies to cross-border tax arrangements which meet one or more specified characteristics (hallmarks), and which concern either more than one EU country or an EU country and a non-EU country.

Tax policymakers, globally and domestically, are increasingly focusing on their contribution to environmental and green agendas. Energy taxation; schemes focused on reducing carbon emissions and neutralising the impact of foreign markets through border adjustment mechanisms; and credits and incentives for those making efficient investments go hand in hand with taxpayers own attempts to display environmental credentials to this stakeholders, whether they are investors, employees, regulators or others.

We all work in an increasingly globalised economy, with constantly evolving technological innovation.

A number of supranational organisations are responsible for setting standards, providing guidance or committing to joint action on tax matters. Through these bodies, several territories' governments or tax authorities act together to determine international tax rules. Still other bodies contribute to the formulation of tax policy. Our Tax Policy Network regularly works with:
More people than ever have a vested interest in tax matters, including tax transparency, reporting and the tax gap, all of which are in greater focus for governments supranational groups, and NGOs. This means a long-term, transparent tax strategy is more relevant than ever for corporate taxpayers — on that involves clear board tasks and responsibilities, board oversight, effective tax-risk management and auditable tax reporting.

Globalisation and digitalisation are forcing policymakers around the globe to look at international tax frameworks, making changes to reflect the effects on their tax bases. These changes will apply to all large international businesses, not just highly digitalised businesses.
The G20/OECD Inclusive Framework has been reviewing the rules of the international corporate income tax system. Made up of nearly 140 countries operating on an ‘equal footing’, the project is expected to produce a consensus solution by the middle of 2021.
But enough countries are moving unilaterally — for either the short-term or longer — that a global consensus may not be reached. This could create distortions, uncertainty and complexity.
We can help you consider and understand the impact on:
Taxation of the globalisation and digitalisation of the economy
"Tax is complicated and interconnected. Balancing competition and consensus is hard.

Nonetheless, the spectre of years of wrangling over tax should serve to bring people together."
