The Committee will explore with the witnesses the difference between the European Commission and the OECD’s position on allocation of profits between countries by multinationals. The session will also cover the distinction between debt and equity, a key plank of much tax planning activity.
The Committee will also take evidence from academics from the University of Durham, the University of Oxford and the University of Lancaster who will be asked about the possibility of Unitary Tax approach where multinational companies are taxed internationally rather than in separate jurisdictions with the tax revenue then being divided between the countries in which that company operates.
