At the 2024 Oxford Centre for Business Taxation @OxfordTax summer conference. Pleased to hear from Michael Lennard (UN), @chenaimukumba (TJN Africa) and Philip Baker (Field Court) on the developments on tax cooperation at the UN, including who makes the rules and in which forum.

@JudithFreedman @albrummer Indeed a complicated story - a bit two dimensional. For example, a first home buyer in the UK would find they would not have the same borrowing power as they would have in another of the countries listed and therefore would be locked out of the market longer.

It is with mixed emotions that I share some personal news: after 15 years at #OECD, I have decided to step down as Director of @OECDtax. This is the outcome of a long reflection and I feel privileged to have served this unique Organisation & its members for so many years.

[Mathias Cormann @MathiasCormann]

After 10 years as OECD Director for Tax Policy and Administration @PSaintAmans will retire from the organisation at the end of October.

I am very grateful to Pascal for his enormous contribution to international tax policy reform and administration.
