Among the specific issues discussed are the proposals of international organizations and experiences in the area of taxation of the digital economy, recommendations and experiences regarding the allocation model of tax bases and the concept of permanent establishment, the CIAT Cocktail for the Control of Transfer Pricing Manipulation for developing or low-income countries, the corporate tax shelter index of the TJN and the elements to be considered to evaluate tax competition. Likewise, working groups were formed with the purpose of generating conclusions on the need to add topics to the BEPS Action Plan, the feasibility of effectively addressing in the medium term the recommendations of the BEPS Action Plan for the countries of the region and the impact of the proposals to tax the digital economy in the regional context.
This initiative has allowed us to capitalize on conclusions from previous meetings and discuss new ideas.
