A Tax Control Framework (TCF) is the part of the system of internal control that assures the accuracy and completeness of the tax returns and disclosures made by an enterprise. The TCF plays a central part in bringing rigour to the co-operative compliance concept. The objective of this report is to provide guidance that is meant to be helpful for businesses to design and operate their TCFs and for revenue bodies to adjust the risk management strategy for an individual large business in the context of a (voluntary) co-operative compliance relationship as laid out in the FTA report Study into the Role of Tax Intermediaries (OECD, 2008), the 2013 report, and the September 2013 BIAC Statement of Tax Principles for International Business (see Annex A). The broad conclusions of this report are that when the tax control framework of a multinational enterprise participating in cooperative compliance programme is determined to be effective, and when the enterprise provides complete disclosures that include relevant information and tax risks and is transparent to the revenue body, the extent of reviews and audits of the returns submitted to it can be reduced significantly. In these circumstances, the revenue body may rely on the returns submitted to it and trust that uncertain tax positions and other problematic tax positions taken in that return will be brought to its attention.

Prompted by the global economic crisis, the attention for tax compliance behaviour of large businesses increased significantly in recent years. Worldwide, stakeholders request more tax transparency from large businesses. Tax authorities use 'transparency' as a starting point in so-called cooperative compliance strategies. Tax risk management seems to be an indispensable factor in these strategies. The authors note that both in the Netherlands and abroad the design of a so-called tax control framework by businesses as well as its use by tax authorities does not seem to be clear. In this contribution the authors seek to reduce this obscurity around the tax control framework by focussing on the element of 'tax monitoring', for which they use the Dutch horizontal monitoring program as a case study.

National taxation authorities around the world are rapidly improving international cooperation, given the unprecedented triple impact of persistent revelations of large-scale corporate tax avoidance, the ever-increasing intricacies of digital cross-border transactions, and the unprecedented revenue deficits engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is also a growing recognition that improving tax compliance needs to be reconciled with a legitimate desire on the part of businesses to have some certainty about their taxes. Cooperative compliance is one way to achieve that. This first analysis of the details of cooperative compliance programmes currently in operation describes tax control frameworks, suggests practical examples to assist practitioners in tax administrations and the private sector, and provides multiple perspectives on the design and legitimacy of such programmes. Drawing on detailed information contributed by tax practitioners and academics from a wide range of jurisdictions worldwide, the book identifies and explains certain crucial elements of successful programmes: the criteria for access to cooperative compliance (e.g., is the programme voluntary or mandatory? Is there a financial threshold? Will the criteria be publicly available?); model legislation that can facilitate the operation of such programmes (statutory provisions, administrative rules and procedures, etc.); the foundations for an international agreement on an audit assurance standard for tax control frameworks (including the role of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the European Union (EU), and other international organizations); how to develop a methodology to measure the cost and benefits of cooperative compliance programmes; detailed case studies of existing compliance programmes in Australia, Austria, China, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Russia; and how to communicate a cooperative compliance programme to obtain trust from society. The analysis draws on two years of work led by WU Global Tax Policy Center (GTPC) at Vienna University of Economics and Business in cooperation with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA). The project brought together over two hundred people from 25 countries, including public officials, businesses, and academics. Tax certainty and predictability are key components for providing a tax environment that is conducive to cross-border trade and investment, and, in the long term, it is in the interest of both governments and businesses to minimize tax uncertainty as much as possible. This truly helpful book promises to pave the way to an internationally effective tax framework that will be welcomed by taxation authorities and practitioners worldwide.
