The drivers and dynamics of taxation have shifted considerably with the digital transformation. This has opened new avenues for international tax cooperation, in the form of data and information-sharing arrangements, common reporting frameworks, and the potential for more transparent, effective, and accountable administration. However, it has also introduced new complexities in tackling base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), encouraged cross-country tax competition, and raised difficulties in taxing digital intangible assets and products across borders.

Amid the increasing implementation of digital services taxes across various jurisdictions, ongoing negotiations toward multilateral agreements and Two-Pillar Solutions aim to ensure the benefits of digital transformation of the economies are reflected in taxation while mitigating associated risks.
To explore this complex and shifting terrain and other tax-related issues, the 16th International ATAX ‘Tax Administration: Getting It Right' Conference will provide a platform for discussion on the social, economic, environmental, legal and technological aspects of tax administration reform. During the conference, the ADBI will develop and deliver a session on Taxing Digital Products and Services: Opportunities and Challenges in Asia and the Pacific. This panel discussion will bring together leading policymakers, government officials, and technical experts to review the landscape of international tax cooperation concerning the allocation of taxing rights in the digital economy and exchange perspectives on how some Asia Pacific countries are approaching these changes.
