Abstract

This article analyzes and praises the global tax policy-making policies adopted by the United Nations Resolutions A/C.2/77/L.11/Rev.1 of the Second Commission of the General Assembly (23th November 2022); The United Nations A/RES/77/441 of the General Assembly (30th December 2022), and The report A/78/235 of the Secretary-General of the United Nations (26th July 2023), on Effective and Inclusive International Tax Cooperation in the United Nations. These policies include the possibility of adoption of a new agreement, or multilateral instrument on international tax cooperation and the creation of an intergovernmental committee for international tax cooperation.

This paper suggests that the new regulations could be a turning point in international tax cooperation, leading to a new framework of cooperation and governance for international relations. This opens up the possibility of a new Global Tax Order, which we have advocated for. It seems that significant changes in international tax cooperation are imminent, with a new era of tax governance and cooperative relationships on the horizon.

The article discusses the most important aspects of Report A/78/235, focusing on the need to adopt certain tax policy-making measures for international tax cooperation, by developing our previous scientific research and international conferences on these matters.
