The Group of 20 (G20) will soon discuss the global anti-tax avoidance proposals of the OECD. Australia and the US have become cautious about the plans. There are concerns among business figures and some governments that the OECD’s efforts against base erosion and profit shifting by multinationals could have unforeseen effects. For instance Richard Goyder, head of Wesfarmers, warns that measures to curb tax avoidance by multinationals could unintentionally weigh heavily on Australian tax revenue from mining exports to Asia
