The panel brings together scientists and practitioners of tax policy. Digitization and the global activities of internet companies challenge tax policy. How should internet companies without local production units be taxed? Where is profit income to be taxed? What are the merits and problems of the OECD tax proposals? Will they entail a large redistribution of tax revenue? How should Switzerland react?
