Description

Series on International Taxation #81

The tax landscape today looks dramatically different from how it appeared even a generation ago. Ongoing sweeping changes in information technologies, massive economic downturns, unforeseen catastrophes such as the global pandemic that hit the world in 2020, and ever more sophisticated methods of tax evasion and avoidance are only some of the factors that have perplexed and even confounded tax authorities. This important book provides a comprehensive overview of the global tax challenges confronting tax policy today, with insightful contributions by both well-known tax experts and fresh new voices in the field.

The authors address such critical issues as the following:

• international tax reform initiatives;
• effects of climate change;
• tax justice in times of crisis;
• international tax cooperation;
• taxing multinationals;
• role of tax havens;
• participation and collaboration of developing countries;
• the growing presence of artificial intelligence and robots;
• prospects for a green economic recovery; and
• tax ethics and social inclusiveness.

The contributions originated with the groundbreaking tax summit TaxCOOP2020, held online at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in October 2020.

At a time when tax policy seems poised at the dawn of a fundamental transformation, this inestimable volume will be welcomed by tax practitioners and academics, concerned government officials, businesspeople, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), all of whom will here have access to a variety of points of view and innovative approaches to the future direction of taxation.
