Taxation: International Cooperation
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department plans to join the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
The UK is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure inclusive and effective international tax cooperation, and has been actively engaging in negotiations at the UN over a future Framework Convention, including the recent informal sessions for the technical workstreams.
The UK believes that a UN Tax Framework Convention has the potential to further advance international tax cooperation, but to be successful, it needs to be clear in its aims, avoid duplicating initiatives, and seek to secure the broad support and participation of members.
