Digital taxation: a bluffer’s guide

Speed read
Against a proliferation of unilateral measures worldwide aimed at the digital economy, the OECD seeks international consensus to implement a radical new proposal that will reallocate (and perhaps enlarge) the tax pie between nations. ‘Pillar 1’ of the OECD’s proposals would transform the tax pie into two-tier gateau (routine profit beneath and residual profit on top); whereas, BEPS revisited (aka ‘pillar 2’) looks to introduce some form of super controlled foreign company rule to stop profit diversion, and a race-to-the-bottom dropping of tax rates by local tax authorities. But pillars 1 and 2 do not just involve digital companies, but all MNEs that face consumers.
