This conference is part of the OECD’s Global Forum on Tax Treaties and Transfer Pricing, which plays an important role in the Committee on Fiscal Affairs' programme to bring together international tax experts from OECD and non-OECD countries to discuss international tax issues.

At the 2008 conference, participants overwhelmingly voted the adoption of the OECD’s Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations in 1995 as the most important tax treaty development (besides the OECD Model Tax Convention itself) of the past 50 years.
