Summary of BMG Comments on BEPS Action Plan Proposals

This Summary is based on BMG submissions prepared by various of our members up to March 2015.

Overall, we consider that some of the OECD proposals could provide a more effective basis for MNE taxation, especially those which have moved towards treating them on a more realistic basis as unitary firms. Others will increase complexity and rely on detailed and intrusive audits and subjective judgments, and hence be difficult to administer especially by developing countries, exacerbating the likelihood of conflicts.
