Many of the issues affecting Australia’s long-term welfare require a strong international framework. The current framework for trade and taxation is being challenged in an increasingly digitalised world facing renewed trade tensions.
In an event jointly organised by the Economic Society Qld and the School of Economics and Finance at QUT, Australia’s Ambassador to the OECD, Dr Alex Robson, will discuss the Government’s efforts to advance Australia’s interests at the OECD in response to these challenges, with a special focus on multinational taxation and the digital economy.
