We’re proud to partner with UN Development to help secure an ambitious outcome for the Fourth Financing for Development Conference. Top priorities for us at #FfD4 are: 1) a coherent, integrated approach to financing #SDGs, #climate, and #nature, and 2) a grander bargain on #debt relief.

#Tax stabilisation is contentious. But global norms and standards on #stabilisation are changing. Key shifts: - exempting non-fiscal issues - only granting fiscal stabilisation based on commercial need - limiting scope and time - exempting anti-avoidance rules - alternatives

📢JOB ALERT: Do you have experience helping developing countries use #tax policy to achieve a #just #energy #transition and protect #biodiversity? IISD Economies is hiring a Lead, #environmental #taxes. 10+ yrs exp. required. Work remote. Deadline: 13 Dec iisd.bamboohr.com/careers/785?so…

Earlier this year, the IISD Economies’s #tax program took a leap of faith and started a new workstream on sovereign #debt. Next week, we will have our first webinar to discuss international #debt #relief, and what the #G20 and #FfD4 should do about it. Don’t miss out!

We risk going backwards on #taxation of #minerals at #FfD4. Whereas the Addis Agenda identified #mining #taxation as a huge opportunity for #DRM, the Zero Draft is silent on this. Mining taxation must be part of the #FfD4 agenda. iisd.org/articles/insig…

We're happy to be collaborating with TIWB and Internal Revenue Commission PNG to advance #mining tax audits in #PNG.

Our guidance for governments on #tax #stabilisation clauses in #mining is out! We provide model legal text that countries can use to shift away from automatic inclusion of stabilisation, to a narrower approach. Join us on April 15 to learn more:➡️ lnkd.in/eAFiujNp
