On 31 May, the OECD released a “Programme of Work to Develop a Consensus Solution to the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy”. Under the Workplan, an outline of the architecture of a long-term solution to address the challenges of the digitalisation of the economy is to be submitted to the Inclusive Framework for agreement in January 2020. Work will continue to flesh out the policy and technical details of the solution throughout 2020 to deliver consensus agreement on new international tax rules by the end of 2020. The Workplan acknowledges that this is an extremely ambitious timeline due to what it describes as “the need to revisit fundamental aspects of the international tax system.” The Workplan states that this reflects the “political imperative” that the participating jurisdictions attach to timely resolution of the issues at stake
