    EVENT DESCRIPTION
    This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the 2026 Manual on Effective Mutual Agreement Procedures (MEMAP), recently released by the OECD. The manual offers comprehensive guidance for both competent tax authorities and taxpayers, covering all key aspects of accessing and operating the mutual agreement procedure (MAP) under tax treaties. It also sets out a wide range of practical best practices aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of MAP processes.

    Participants will gain valuable insights into the implications of the manual for both taxpayers and tax administrations, as well as its broader impact on the evolving tax controversy landscape and the overall functioning of dispute resolution mechanisms.

    The session will conclude with forward-looking perspectives on the OECD’s tax certainty agenda, highlighting emerging trends and what lies ahead for international tax dispute prevention and resolution.
