Qatar took part in the 18th meeting of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris.
The Qatari delegation was led by Khalifa bin Jassim Al Jaham Al Kuwari, President of the General Tax Authority.
The meeting covered developments in international tax cooperation and progress on the BEPS project. Participants also discussed simplifying procedures and reducing tax compliance and administrative burdens.
The agenda included the review package for Pillar Two of the global minimum tax, tax issues linked to cross-border labour mobility, and the relationship between tax policy, equality and economic growth.
Member countries and jurisdictions exchanged views and expertise on emerging tax challenges and considered ways to strengthen international coordination and develop more efficient tax policies.
The General Tax Authority said Qatar’s participation reflects its commitment to international tax cooperation and dialogue on tax policy and standards. It said this work can help develop the national tax system, improve its efficiency and support the competitiveness of the country’s business environment.
