Pascal Saint-Amans on Progress With Global Tax Talks

06/25/20 • 21 min

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin created a stir earlier this month when he sent a letter to the OECD asking it to pause its years long effort to change the way multinational companies are taxed, which many saw as a prelude to the U.S. pulling out of these talks altogether.

Not so, according to Pascal Saint-Amans. He’s the Director of the Center for Tax Policy and Administration at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. He told Bloomberg Tax reporter Hamza Ali that the U.S. is still actively participating in these talks and he expects the countries will reach an initial agreement as soon as this fall.

Saint-Amans spoke to Ali June 24 at the Tax Leadership Forum, a virtual event hosted by Bloomberg Tax.

Pandemic Crash Puts E-Commerce in State Tax Crosshairs

Two years ago, the Supreme Court gave states the authority to collect sales tax from out-of-state online retailers with its historic Wayfair opinion. Now, with the pandemic blowing gaping holes in budgets across the country, states may be more eager than ever to flex their new authorities.

On this week's episode of Talking Tax, host Amanda Iacone talks with two state correspondents, Michael J. Bologna and Tripp Baltz, about how Wayfair has changed state tax policies over the past two years. They also discuss how states that were reluctant to aggressively pursue sales taxes from online retailers may quickly shed that reluctance now that they are starving for tax revenue.

On this week's episode of Talking Tax, reporter Sam McQuillan explains to host Siri Bulusu why Hollywood studios are selling the tax credits they get from states, who's buying these credits, and whether there's any momentum among policy makers to address this show business tax scheme.
