The OECD's Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) met on 16-17 December to discuss the implementation of the Two-Pillar solution under BEPS 2.0, ongoing responses to the global COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation and capacity building. FTA members agreed to prioritise support for implementation of the Two-Pillar Solution, including the possible further development of tax certainty tools to help prevent disputes and reduce burdens.
The FTA also discussed developing a new strategic framework covering both digitalisation and digital transformation to inform both domestic reforms and international collaboration. The FTA also plan to prioritise tax capacity building initiatives to assist developing countries with the implementation of the Pillars and the further digitalisation of tax administration.
The FTA also released two reports: a new Digital Transformation Maturity Model covering the key building blocks of future tax administration; and, together with the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), a report on Supporting the Digitalisation of Developing Country Tax Administrations.
For more details, including on the reports published since the 2020 Amsterdam Virtual Plenary meeting, and the FTA's future work programme, see the communiqué released at the close of the meeting.
