This conference will highlight the influential work of the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the development of national
tax policy and regulations governing cross-border trade and investment.
Organized by the OECD, the United States Council for International Business
(USCIB), and the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the
OECD, the conference will provide U.S. executives with the opportunity to
interact directly with key representatives from the OECD's Center for Tax
Policy and Administration. Also on the program are tax policy experts from
the U.S. Treasury/Internal Revenue Service, the OECD's Center for Tax
Policy and Administration, private industry, and senior tax officials from
the U.S. and other OECD countries.
The 30-nation OECD seeks to promote growth through coordination of economic
and regulatory policies between its members, all of which are democratic
market economies. BIAC, composed of major business federations from all
OECD countries, provides policy guidance to OECD members and its
Paris-based secretariat. USCIB is BIAC's representative in the United
States and regularly fields American industry experts for BIAC and OECD
activities. More information is available at www.uscib.org.
Supporting sponsors of the event include the International Fiscal
Association-USA Branch, the International Tax Policy Forum, the National
Foreign Trade Council, the Organization for International Investment, the
Tax Council Policy Institute and the Tax Foundation.
