G20: international tax deal shows multilateralism works
On Wednesday, 13 October, G20 Finance Ministers endorsed the political agreement reached last week by 136 countries to reform the international corporate tax framework. The American Chamber of Commerce to the EU (AmCham EU) generally supports the OECD Inclusive Framework deal, but urges further detailed work in order to ensure that the agreement succeeds in stabilising the international tax system and addressing challenges arising from the digitalisation of the global economy.
Will Morris, Chair, Tax Committee, AmCham EU, said: ‘After several years of negotiations, the agreement is a significant political achievement for international leaders. The deal is another important step towards creating a global tax system fit for the 21st century and demonstrates that multilateralism works. The framework also helpfully pauses the introduction of new unilateral measures.’ He went on to say: ‘However, parties, including the EU, should focus on the implementation of the deal. A lot of hard technical work still remains in order to put a system in place that is consistent across jurisdictions. Reducing complexity will be critical to the success of the new framework. Companies will also require sufficient time and a simplified compliance mechanism to adapt to the new rules. AmCham EU stands ready to provide detailed technical input and support to help achieve these goals.’

Harmonising electronic invoicing in the EU
The EU’s e-invoicing landscape is increasingly fragmented, with Member States imposing divergent formats, extra data fields, inconsistent definitions, validation rules and implementation timelines that drive up compliance costs – especially for SMEs – and undermine the Single Market.
Reforming the EU’s e-invoicing landscape is vital to deliver upon the vast simplification potential of VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) and the Public Procurement Directive revision.
Learn more about why the EU should establish a harmonised, interoperable EU framework for B2G and B2B e-invoicing by mandating the use of a common standard and limited variety of syntaxes, establishing common transmission methods and supporting efficient implementation.

Strengthening predictability in the draft Foreign Subsidies Regulation Guidelines
The draft Guidelines to the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) risk broadening the already excessive reach of the FSR and making its application even less certain for industry, adding to already disproportionate costs and complexities for businesses. The Guidelines should take the opposite approach, seeking to clarify unclear concepts related to the FSR’s application, hone its scope to focus only on subsidies with a demonstrable EU nexus and align the FSR’s treatment of foreign incentives with EU State aid rules.
