The elusive reform of international tax dispute settlement

Yariv Brauner

Journal of International Economic Law, 2024, vol. 27, issue 4, 604-610

Abstract: This short article examines the consequences of a lack of an effective international tax dispute resolution regime. The bilateral treaties based, and OECD-dominated international tax regime is at crossroads as the illegitimacy of the OECD and the anachronism of some of the norms of the regime are being exposed and challenged, especially by developing states and the UN. The weak dispute settlement procedure in tax treaties (mutual agreement procedure) has proven to be ineffective, further contributing to the destabilization of the regime. The article argues that a stronger, multilateral and more legalized regime such as mandatory tax treaty arbitration is in the interest of all parties and reviews the basic difficulties to effect collective action toward that end.
