We are living in a post-GFC world where economies, trade, commerce and technology are rapidly changing. In this evolving environment, the question is whether the tax policies and rules should also change, and if so, how?
This paper unpacks this question by drilling into key BEPS issues, outlining the current state of play, examining viable reform options, and speculating how BEPS will affect the tax system in the future. It covers:
- BEPS - What is it and what does it mean?
- the international context
- the Australian context and insights into the forging of the Australian Policy
- possible BEPS-driven reform and implications for the taxpayers and the ATO.
