The digital transformation of the economy without doubt shapes the future of taxation. While the digitalization spurs innovation, generates efficiencies, and improves services, the breadth and speed of this change introduces challenges as well as opportunities. The latest agreement of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) represents a structural change to the current international tax system, even if commentators disagree about the nature of this change—a missed opportunity, a first step towards a fairer international tax system, or a further complication leading to misbalanced outcomes. 

 

What are the challenges and opportunities for taxations stemming from the digitalization of the economy and e-commerce? What policy responses are being discussed for corporate taxation at OECD, EU and global level? What are the arguments for and against the current agreement? How will these measures impact the distribution of tax revenues between countries, and in particular between developed and developing countries? What will happen with current or planned unilateral digital service tax solutions? What is Austria’s position? 

 

The webinar will discuss these questions by drawing on the rich experience of renowned tax practitioners and academics. Thereby, it will aim to make transparent the trade-offs, challenges, as well as proposed solutions concerning the taxation of the digital economy. 

 

The webinar will be held in English.

Participants are encouraged to ask written questions to the presenters using the webinar’s Q&A feature.
