Weshalb wir am 18.6. NEIN zur Umsetzung der #OECD-#Mindeststeuer sagen, obwohl wir die Bemühungen, das internationale System der Unternehmenssteuern gerechter auszugestalten, begrüssen 👇

1️⃣ Die geplante Umsetzung nützt vor allem den Multis. Sie führt nicht zu einer Umverteilung in rohstoffreiche Länder des globalen Südens, die meist viel höhere Gewinnsteuersätze (25-35%) haben - im Gegenteil: Der Druck steigt, ihre Sätze zu senken und dem OECD-Satz anzugleichen.
2️⃣ 75% der Mehreinnahmen gehen an die Kantone, v.a. Tiefsteuerkantone wie BS, ZG, GE. Sie würden zur Standortförderung und Subventionierung von Konzerntätigkeiten (F&E) eingesetzt und nicht der Allgemeinheit nützen - es würden also v.a. Rohstoff- und Pharmakonzerne profitieren.

When students of statistics are introduced to creating and interpreting models, they are introduced to George Box's maxim:
*All models are wrong, some are useful.*
It's a call for humility and perspective, a reminder to superimpose the messy world on your clean lines. 1/

NEW: The #EU and the #UnitedNations tax resolution🧵: On Monday 20 March, the EU sent its contribution to the public consultation on closer and inclusive tax cooperation at the #UN. Full contribution can be found here: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S… /1
Bit of history, back in December 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the "Promotion of inclusive and effective international tax cooperation at the UN". documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/… /2
The resolution was seen as thinly-veiled criticism of the #OECD's Inclusive Framework. Developing countries felt left out during the negotiations on the OECD's milestone reform of international corporate taxation and advocated for a greater role for the UN in tax policy /3

Back in the day those, including me, who worked on many different versions of the #greendeal all focused on the win-win scenarios ... #greenjobs #greengrowth #justtransition etc. and tho the context has changed completely this win-win farming remains even in the year 2023
Had we mobilised on a war-footing back then, invested at scale, imposed #carbontaxes, innovated like mad & massively increased financial & technological support 4 developing economies to shun coal & adopt #renewables, the #greendeal may have worked, albeit not without real costs
Around the world #IndustrialPolicy is back on policy agendas, but analysis of these policies is limited by a lack of cross-comparable data. We're looking to address this gap through our #OECD Quantifying Industrial Strategies (QuIS) project. A short 🧵on what we're doing 👇 1/7
The QuIS project defines Industrial Policy as direct support extended by the public sector to businesses & aimed at 1⃣ promoting investment, 2⃣ improving competitiveness, or 3⃣ structurally increasing economic development. 2/7
Our methodology to measure & categorise industrial policy expenditures is based on this definition. This is a crucial step towards our goal of gathering and providing the data necessary to compare Industrial Strategies across but also within countries. 3/7

It is with mixed emotions that I share some personal news: after 15 years at #OECD, I have decided to step down as Director of @OECDtax. This is the outcome of a long reflection and I feel privileged to have served this unique Organisation & its members for so many years.
2/ I have been incredibly lucky to be in the most exciting place to witness & facilitate the fundamental, once in a century changes to the int'l #tax system. The deal last Oct was the culmination of more than a decade of hard work to introduce a tax regulation of globalisation.
3/What we have built together is here to last. Pillar Two will soon be implemented globally and Pillar One will set the architecture of the tax system. A page was turned last October.
It is impossible to disentangle Italian debt sustainability from the scope, size and design of the @ecb’s market operations.
Italy’s debt is sustainable if #ECB deems it so through its actions. It is not, if #ECB expresses doubts about its sustainability
A circular question!

Put differently, the ECB and Italy are pathologically co-dependant.
Now that Italy is in the #Eurozone, it’s future depends on the @ECB.
At the same time, an #ECB that out of neglect and inaction, or something worse, sows doubts about #Italy, will bring about its own demise!

The @ecb is not your normal #OECD country central bank.
It has a formal “price stability” (#inflation) mandate. But the informal mandate to “hold the #eurozone together” is arguably even more important.
Whenever there is a clash between the two goals, the second will triumph!

Instead, we’ve decided to pull together a regularly updated meta-thread bringing together the sharpest analysis out there. A few caveats to kick things off…
