The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) finalized the Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) initiative in 2015. BEPS refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to make profits ‘disappear’ for tax purposes or to shift profits to locations where there is little or no real activity but the taxes are low, resulting in little or no overall corporate tax paid.
At the center of the current tax, the debate is whether international income tax rules, developed in a "brick-and-mortar" economic environment more than a century ago, remain applicable, and fit for purpose, in the modern global, digital economy. The fundamental elements of the global tax system which determined where taxes should be paid ("nexus" rules based on physical presence) and what portion of profits should be taxed ("profit allocation" rules based on the arm's length principle) have served their purpose well for many years. Namely, they have enshrined tax certainty, helped to eliminate double taxation, and stimulated global trade.
However, the International Tax standard for nearly 100 hundred years, the Arm’s Length Principle, is under intense scrutiny in the highly digitized business environment. The OECD has proposed new rules relying on ‘digital’ nexus and formulary apportionment to meet BEPS challenges in the Digital economy.
