Now the #UnitedNations wants a bigger role on the reform go global #taxation, and in doing so is setting itself up against the #OECD which jealously guards this aspect of its international norm setting function...

That said, in many ways the UN looks like a more sensible place for global tax reform to be formulated, until you think about the difficulties the organisation has in driving forward other changes.

Nevertheless a UN Tax Programme (UNTP) might build on (much) earlier work by UNCTAD!
