A Multilateral Convention for Tax: From Theory to Implementation

A Multilateral Convention for Tax is a pioneering book that assesses a pivotal and revolutionary paradigm shift in the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (MLI) versus a mechanism that primarily continues an ongoing flow of limited policy coordination—two radically opposed viewpoints on the convention—with thorough analyses that kindle the hopes and the realities of the current era of multilateral tax cooperation. Since the advent of modern income taxation over a century ago, the MLI has been the most dynamic multilateral initiative coordinating tax regimes on a global basis.

What’s in this book:

Uniting the efforts of authors from national jurisdictions worldwide to scrutinize the MLI and its likely future ramifications, the book furnishes an in-depth commentary and analysis in the following sequence:

first, a comprehensive discussion of the design and goals of the MLI as a treaty and an institutional framework;
second, an overview of the structure of the convention and its take-up across the globe to date; and
third, the substantive implementation of the MLI with a wide range of country reports.
