Alan McLean of #Shell, Peter Hiltz of #Amazon, Christian Dorenkamp of #Telekom and Guy France of #Sony agree that #usercontribution has no differentiating particularities which would justify to tax it, at the joint #BDI and #OECD international tax conference in Berlin
Great suggestions at the #UNIL conference on the Future of International #TaxDisputes, one of which: create a ‚Competent Authorities without borders‘ Forum to help countries new to #MAP and #arbitration build capacities & expertise

Discussing with M. Lennard and Bob Stack the #UN work on taxation of digital economy and #ustaxreform at the #icctaxcommission meeting in Geneva. The trend around marketing intangibles and new approaches such as GILTI might be just the next steps towards global apportionment.

Just wanted thank #lufthansa for ensuring, that life never gets boring, I constantly have to rearrange my schedule & get to enjoy ‚lovely‘ lounges longer than intended - with the excuse that delays are due to bad weather or (better) late arrival of the plane! Life can be easy...
Franz zu Hohenlohe, Oliver Nussbaum and myself discussing #ustaxreform at the #wts tax directors meeting in Brussels - many new even though mostly defensive structures coming up!
I truly believe enhanced cooperation and a solid relationship between tax administrations and taxpayers has many advantages compared to past times - apparently for both sides!
