The Treasury minister's vision for multinationals to report their tax bills for each jurisdiction they operate in will be taken forward by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. During a G-20 meeting yesterday in Berlin, Stephen Timms pushed other member nations to back the standard of country-by-country reporting which would be a step towards combating tax secrecy. Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Korea all showed support for the implementation of the measure, according to the Guardian . The OECD is to do the background work by looking at whether the standard is going to be achievable. Timms said: 'We need the OECD to explore the ins and outs of this'. Anti- tax avoidance groups are backing the move which will see developing countries benefit from the end of multinationals negotiating their own tax terms within their jurisdiction.
