Please join The Platform for Collaboration on Tax (PCT) for a launch webinar of its new Toolkit on the Taxation of Offshore Indirect Transfers. 

The expert panelists will present the new PCT Toolkit and discuss how the toolkit can help address complex issues on taxing offshore indirect transfer of assets.

Background:

The taxation of offshore indirect transfer of assets is a significant concern for developing countries, primarily from the perspective of the countries where the underlying assets are located. Taxation of the indirect transfer of assets such as mineral and telecommunication rights has been the subject of public interest. This issue has been intensified further by revenue challenges that governments are increasingly facing due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Platform for Collaboration on Tax (PCT) has recently published the Toolkit on the Taxation on Offshore Indirect Transfers (OITs), which provides practical and coherent guidance for developing countries on the considerations that might arise when deciding to tax offshore indirect transfers (OIT), types of assets to tax in such cases and how to design and implement OIT taxation in domestic law.
