On 19 April 2016 the OECD, IMF, World Bank and UN announced the creation of a Platform for Collaboration on Tax. The Platform will intensify cooperation between these bodies as well as hosting regular consultations on the design and implementation of international tax standards. The Platform is also intended to strengthen capacity building support; develop joint guidance on tax; and facilitate information sharing on operational and knowledge activities.

In the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals the Platform will facilitate the formulation of technical advice to developing countries. This will involve providing greater capacity support to developing countries and giving them greater influence in the design of rules and standards for international taxation.

The Platform will deliver various toolkits required to assist developing countries in the task of implementing the recommendations made by the OECD reports on base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) and in connection with other international tax issues. The first toolkit related to tax incentives was delivered in November 2015. In the context of BEPS implementation regular meetings will be held with representatives of developing countries, regional organizations, banks and donors.
