online conference: Taxing the digital economy – is a global solution the answer?

Fair allocation of taxing rights remains a challenge. Although there have been substantial changes in the area of International and EU-taxation due to the OECD/G20 BEPS Project, the increasing importance of the Digital Economy demands a modification of current tax rules. To prevent multilateral measures like the implementation of Digital Taxes, there is broad consensus, that the goal must be a global answer by the end of 2020. The Inclusive Framework of the OECD is working on that solution and developed Pillar 1 and 2.

Product Labelling - the Industrial Customer's Perspective

Labelling is recognized as a useful regulatory tool to bridge product-related information gaps in business-to-consumer (B2C) relations. When purchasing home appliances, uninformed consumers tend to be guided by the green-to-red-scale to learn about energy efficiency performance. This is where labels seem to make sense: they compensate for market failure.
