New Head of OECD's Global Tax Forum Announced

The OECD has announced the appointment of Ms Monica Bhatia as new Head of the OECD's Global Tax Forum. She replaces Pascal Saint-Amans, who now leads the OECD's tax department CTPA. Regrettably, the latter has still not responded to the questions we raised here.

In the past, we have been critical of Global Tax Forum processes and policies and our latest assessment, due for publication on 6th March 2012 will not make for happy reading in and around Paris' 16eme arrondissement.

We hope the appointment of Ms Bhatia marks a new dawn for the Global Forum and its role in international tax cooperation. We wish her all the best for her new position.
