Statement of outcomes by the chair virtual meeting of the advisory group for co-operation with partner economies

15 September 2020

Representatives from 40 countries and 5 international and regional organizations, as well as delegations from the OECD’s Multilateral Tax Centres, met virtually on 15 September 2020 at the meeting of the Advisory Group for Co-operation with Partner Economies (AG), to discuss the Global Relations Programme (GRP) and the additional challenges and opportunities presented by COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting took stock of a rapidly changing international tax landscape and the importance of supporting developing countries as they seek to strengthen their capacities in the area of international taxation, including by leveraging technology. It also addressed how tax administrations could best respond and recover from COVID-19. The participants in the meeting shared their experiences of the GRP – face-to-face training, e-learning, blended learning and virtual classes – and discussed the benefits to and impact on their administrations.
