Workshop on Tax and Development: The Link between International Taxation, the Base Erosion Profit Shifting Project and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda

The workshop will address the link between international taxation, the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project (BEPS), the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS) concept. During this day, we will also elaborate on a reference and evaluation framework for multilateral cooperation on tax and development to strengthen the revenue system of developing countries.

This workshop will consist of an interdisciplinary mix of expertise in tax law, international political economy, global governance and international relations. The aim is to identify a proper framework to find out how the tax and development link can be addressed and evaluated, and how countries and governments could reinforce this link in light of the current and future initiatives in international tax law making.
