Base Erosion & Profit Shifting (BEPS)

Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) refers to tax avoidance strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to artificially shift profits to low or no-tax locations. Under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS, over 125 countries and jurisdictions are collaborating to implement the BEPS measures and tackle BEPS.

ISLA’s Tax Working Group considers the implementation of BEPS, such as the EU Directive on Administrative Co-operation (“DAC”) to ascertain impacts through knowledge sharing and practice proposals.
