There are regular discussions of international tax issues in the ECOFIN Council, in the OECD and in other international fora including the G20. The UK is playing a leading role in reform of the international tax rules to ensure that companies pay their fair share.

The government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review. Changes to the UK tax system are announced as part of the normal fiscal cycle.
