SUMMARY:Ad Hoc Expert Group Meeting on Electronic Commerce and Taxation
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, and even more during COVID times\, e-commerce
  has surged globally adding urgency for countries to adopt adequate polici
 es and laws to benefit from online activities. Taxation of e-commerce is h
 ighly relevant in this context\, with important implications for governmen
 ts\, businesses and consumers. The adoption of e-commerce and related new 
 business models have created unique challenges to the administration and e
 nforcement of traditional tax systems. The implications for taxation are n
 umerous given the often-multi-jurisdictional nature of the transaction\, a
 nd the potential anonymity of the parties.  Against this background\, UNC
 TAD is organizing an Ad Hoc Expert Group Meeting on Electronic Commerce an
 d Taxation\, focusing on indirect e-commerce taxation\, especially in the 
 context of Business-to-Consumers (B2C) e-commerce and recent trends in ada
 pting taxation to fit new models of domestic and cross-border economic act
 ivity.\n\n \n\nThe meeting will bring together tax experts and representa
 tives from developing countries\, International Organizations and Regional
  Organizations\, academia and researchers\, Civil Society Organizations an
 d the private sector. \n\n \n\nThe meeting will provide an opportunity f
 or experts to identify and discuss the main challenges and opportunities f
 or developing countries’ domestic tax systems resulting from e-commerce 
 based on countries’ experiences. It will seek to solicit the views of ex
 perts on the most important factors to consider when designing legal frame
 works for the taxation of e-commerce\, looking at good practice around the
  world and possible implications (pros and cons) of different approaches.\
