Symposium on the United Nations Tax Framework Convention

This Symposium is timed to take place during the Fifth Session of the UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC), to support high quality, frank and positive engagement in relation to content and text of the Framework Convention, Protocol 1 and Protocol 2. The Symposium will build on the engagement in our first Symposium and will enable a detailed discussion of key issues relating to the taxation of services (Protocol 1) and dispute prevention and resolution (Protocol 2), while also addressing aspects of governance of the Convention and Protocols.

The NYU ITP is delighted to be collaborating in this Symposium with the International Center for Tax and Development and UNU-WIDER, enabling sharing of new research and learning. As a key part of the Symposium, UNU-WIDER will present a Lecture on the findings of the UNU-WIDER working paper estimating the economic effects of different cross-border taxation scenarios under Protocol 1 of the UN Tax Convention.
