A Case for VAT Treaties: International Tax Cooperation for Sustainable Recovery

Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary WorksRGC 12 - Chapter in an edited book (Author)peer-review

Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis exacerbated the pre-existing challenges of taxing the digital economy and made it more urgent for governments to respond to the challenges. This chapter considers the challenges created by the rise of the digital economy and further accelerated by COVID-19 for VAT collection on cross-border sales of digital services and low value goods. Drawing on the experience of income tax treaties, this chapter explores the role of international cooperation by way of treaties in offering a long-term solution to the VAT problems, while supporting a sustainable and inclusive COVID-19 recovery. © The editors and contributors severally 2023.
