About BEPS

The OECD began work on their BEPS project to address concerns that current principles of national and international taxation were failing to keep pace with the global nature of modern trading and business models, in particular, a perception that existing rules give businesses too much opportunity for arbitraging tax rates and regimes.

While views vary, one clear and consistent message is that the matters on the OECD Action Plan agenda are set to significantly shape the means by which governments collect tax and companies align their tax affairs and business models in the decade ahead. Given the OECD’s pace of work, change is inevitable and will be swift.
