@MWaltersQueensU This is such tragic news. Art was an incredibly generous and gifted communicator on all things tax law. He never turned down a request to help explain things or provide his view, no matter how urgent. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Canada will go ahead with plans for a domestic digital services tax after 136 countries agreed to a global tax deal at the OECD Friday, but has given its own levy a later implementation date with the hope the global deal supersedes it.
