On 24th of October, 2019, the roundtable session 'BEPS 2.0 Update' took place at KPMG Meijburg & Co. As a result, a report was made with interesting findings and feedback on the OECD consultation document for taxation in the digital economy (Pillar 1).
In this edition we highlight the key aspects of the 2020 Tax Plan.
