President Donald Trump threw a major wrench into the fate of the OECD global tax deal on his first day in office, sparking concerns among the international tax community about the deal being fundamentally reshaped. Trump issued a presidential memo Jan. 20 stating the global tax deal has no "force or effect" in the US and instructed the Treasury Department to come up with a list of protective measures to impose on any country that enacts discriminatory or extraterritorial taxes against American taxpayers. This week, Bloomberg Tax reporter Lauren Vella sits down with Scott Levine, Treasury's former deputy assistant secretary for international affairs and top US OECD tax delegate, to chat about the status of the global deal and the impact of the new US administration's position on negotiations. Levine maps out two scenarios he sees playing out in Paris under the new Trump administration and gives some insight into how countries at the OECD might be feeling about the transition of power in the US.

This Tax Section Odyssey podcast episode takes a deeper dive into the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) initiative on Base Erosion Profit Sharing (BEPS) 2.0 which sets to reform the internation tax system with Pillar 1 and 2 tax regimes. In addition to the complexity of such international regulations, the political landscape for U.S. implementation is uncertain, and potential action is needed from Congress. Cory Perry, Principal, National Tax — Grant Thorton Advisors, and Vice Chair of the AICPA's International Technical Resource Panel (TRP), highlights that while many U.S. companies may not face larger tax bills if these regimes are adopted in the U.S., the administrative and compliance challenges are significant. The AICPA has submitted comment letters to the OECD, Treasury, and the IRS, focusing on simplification and clarification of rules.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Marna Ricker, EY's Global Vice Chair of Tax, to explore the intersection of emerging technologies, diversity, and the evolving landscape of global tax regulation. With over 28 years at EY, Marna is a transformational leader whose passion for authentic leadership and inclusive empowerment has not only shaped her career but also the future of the tax profession. We begin our conversation by diving into the impact of AI and generative AI on the tax industry. Marna shares insights on how these technologies are revolutionizing the way tax professionals manage and analyze vast amounts of data, automating processes that once required hours of manual effort. However, with innovation comes risk, and Marna highlights the common pitfalls that tax departments face when adopting new technologies without a clear strategy. From getting lost in the allure of shiny new tools to the importance of starting simple and focusing on data standardization, Marna offers a balanced perspective on how to navigate the tech landscape effectively. But the future of tax isn't just about technology. As global regulations evolve to create a fairer and greener world, tax professionals must adapt not only to new rules but also to changing workforce dynamics. Marna discusses the trends shaping the future of tax, including the influence of sustainability initiatives, and how companies can leverage tax policies to drive ESG goals. She also delves into the human side of this transformation, emphasizing the need for inclusive leadership and a human-centered approach to change management. Marna's leadership at EY is a testament to the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion in building high-performing teams. She shares the initiatives that EY has implemented, from inclusive leadership training to neurodiversity hiring programs, and how these efforts are making a meaningful impact across the organization. Tune in to hear Marna's unique perspective on the future of tax, the role of technology in driving innovation, and the importance of fostering an inclusive culture in today's rapidly changing world. What steps can you take to future-proof your tax function and ensure you're not falling into the technology trap?
How is e-invoicing revolutionizing global trade, and why should businesses take notice? In this episode, we speak with Alex Baulf, VP of Global Tax at Avalara, to explore the rise of e-invoicing and its profound impact on commerce around the world. As governments increasingly mandate e-invoicing across various geographies, businesses must adapt to this new digital era or risk falling behind. Alex, who serves on the European Commission's eInvoicing Technical Advisory Group and is a Board Member of the Digital Business Networks Alliance, offers a deep dive into e-invoicing, how it works, and why it's becoming a critical component of international trade. E-invoicing, a digital document with structured, machine-readable data, is not just about compliance but transforming how businesses operate. Alex explains how e-invoicing streamlines processes, reduces costs, and enhances data quality, all while ensuring tax compliance in an increasingly regulated environment. He also discusses the role of tax authorities in driving this shift, particularly in the EU, where harmonization efforts are well underway, and in the US, where market-driven approaches are gaining traction. The conversation delves into the regulatory landscape, highlighting how countries are mandating e-invoicing to close the "VAT gap" and increase tax revenue. By 2030, most countries are expected to have e-invoicing mandates, making it essential for businesses to prepare now. Alex shares practical advice on how companies can embrace e-invoicing strategically, from investing in scalable global solutions to focusing on data quality and integration. He emphasizes that e-invoicing should be seen as an opportunity for process automation and efficiency rather than just a compliance obligation. Looking ahead, Alex touches on future trends in e-invoicing, including the growth of standardized formats like the PEPPOL network, the use of QR codes for public validation, and the expansion from e-invoicing to full e-document exchange. As businesses navigate this digital transformation, one question remains: Are you ready to harness the benefits of e-invoicing and stay ahead in the global marketplace?

Countries are under pressure to finalize and sign the text of the OECD's multilateral tax treaty, one part of the international tax deal known as Pillar One, by the end of June. Several OECD officials, including Manal Corwin, director of the organization's Center for Tax Policy and Administration, have reported significant progress on finalizing the document. But negotiations have hit a snag. The problem area is treatment of another part of Pillar One, known as Amount B, that's meant to simplify the way businesses value intercompany marketing and distribution transactions. The US and India, in particular, have butted heads over whether the measure should be mandatory. In this week's episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Lauren Vella sits down with Dr. Santiago Gomez Cifuentes, head of congressional affairs at the Colombian Embassy in Washington, to talk about progress made on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development-led deal and what's holding back the completion of Pillar One. Gomez Cifuentes is in close contact with the Colombian delegation to the OECD, and serves as a go-between representing Colombian interests in conversations with US lawmakers. They also talk about Colombia's interest in the US Inflation Reduction Act and tax incentives that could boost mineral exports from Latin American countries. Produced by Matthew S. Schwartz.

In 2017, Congress, in an effort to fund the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, implemented a provision that hinders companies from fully counting R&D costs, including payroll, as legitimate expenses. Instead, they mandated the amortization of these expenses over five years. This change, effective from tax year 2022, resulted in a substantial increase in federal tax liabilities for many businesses. Because the implementation of this bill wasn't set to go into effect until five years later, many business leaders failed to notice the change and were caught flat-footed with enormous increases in their 2022 tax liabilities. More alarmingly, the impact of this change on America's economy has been profound. According to a National Association of Manufacturers' review of data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, American R&D spending fell from a five-year average growth rate of 6.6 percent to just 1 percent after the new provisions were implemented in 2022. Jonathan Forman of Global Tax Management addressed a standing-room-only crowd about the business-crushing implications of not fixing this part of the tax code. Jonathan stepped up to the One Mic Stand to give us a synopsis of the situation and insight to a proposed remedy. Get more insight and contact your elected officials here.

About 140 nations have come together to agree on a 15% global minimum corporate tax rate and a way to make sure tech companies and other multinational giants pay their fair share. Putting these hard-won agreements into practice brings new difficulties and delays may mean a flurry of new digital services taxes. Furthermore, developing nations have pushed to put tax talks on the United Nations' agenda. In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie is joined by Benjamin Angel and Pascal Saint-Amans to talk about the state of play in OECD's global tax deal. They discuss the role that different stakeholders play in the developments, including the OECD, the EU, the US and the Global South.
African countries face several challenges in negotiating the global tax deal involving more than 140 countries at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The agreement includes reallocation of the residual profits of large multinational companies to market jurisdictions, known as Pillar One, and a 15% global minimum tax, known as Pillar Two. On this week's episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax senior reporter Danish Mehboob speaks with Logan Wort, executive secretary at the African Tax Administration Forum, about why developing countries feel they don't have a seat at the table for these negotiations and why some would prefer to have the project play out at the United Nations rather than the OECD.

French President Emmanuel Macron once again criticized Israel's military efforts against the Islamist Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip and warned that it would take a decade to fully eradicate the terrorist organization from the region. Speaking on the sidelines of the United Nations climate change conference in Dubai on Saturday, President Macron renewed his call for a Two State Solution which would divide the land of Israel and give it to the Palestinians. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, today is Day 59 of the Israel-Hamas War, and it is Day 1,358 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. Macron is calling for A Two State Solution, Erdogan is calling for Netanyahu to be tried as a ‘war criminal', and an American destroyer shot down multiple drones on Sunday while assisting commercial ships in the Red Sea that were targeted by attacks from Yemen. Netanyahu for his part is vowing that the Palestinian Authority will never again control Gaza. The Middle East is a powder keg, with fires breaking out all around it as the flames come closer and closer to its fuse. Today I want to show you the coming Global Tax being called for this week at COP 28, how the Climate Scam is the cudgel being used to finish the job of ramming the Great Reset down our throats, and how AI will decimate our global society.

Governments landed agreement on some of the global tax deal's biggest open issues earlier this month. But major political questions remain. The issues will play out over the coming years in the US and around the world, said Bob Stack, who was the Treasury Department's OECD tax negotiator under the Obama administration and is now a managing director at Deloitte. In a conversation with Bloomberg Tax's Isabel Gottlieb, Stack talked about the recent agreement by the negotiating governments that will shield US companies' US income from foreign minimum tax for an extra year, and what that means for future global tax legislation in the US Congress. Stack also talked about prospects for the agreed, conditional freeze on new digital services taxes during remaining negotiations over implementation of Amount A, the global deal's profit reallocation plan.

The OECD's global tax deal is approaching a milestone: The organization expects to see the release this summer of major remaining pieces of the agreement that have been under negotiation. But throughout the process, many developing countries have felt their concerns weren't sufficiently addressed, said Marlene Nembhard-Parker, a senior tax official in Jamaica who is also co-chair of the Inclusive Framework of 143 countries working on the global tax agreement. Meanwhile, the United Nations also has a new international tax effort in the works. That project isn't intended to duplicate or undermine the OECD's work, she said, but to "address the issues of legitimacy as to who is responsible for setting global tax rules." On this week's Talking Tax, Nembhard-Parker speaks about developing countries' perspective on the agenda and outcomes of the OECD and UN work, and why the commitment from governments to reach agreement on Pillar One creates a sense of "cautious optimism." Nembhard-Parker's remarks are part of a pre-recorded interview aired during the Bloomberg Tax Leadership Forum, held virtually Tuesday. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

Key Takeaways:Pillar Two comes in effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 for multi-national companies with global revenue in excess of Euro 750m.Complexity will arise from both the detailed calculations involved as well as timing related to the phased-in approach by jurisdiction as to when each country will require implementation of global tax rules. Immediate steps to be undertaking by multinationals include an impact assessment and inventory of entities in different jurisdictions to determine potential increase in effective tax rates or cash tax increase, as well as financial statement and tax return compliance.Establish a strategic roadmap that considers accounting, systems, policy choices, resources, controls, disclosures and reporting requirements.Create the proper governance structure to properly monitor and drive accountability in both current and future decisions impacting the business.
