Base erosion constitutes a serious risk to tax revenues, tax sovereignty and tax fairness for many countries. While there are many ways in which domestic tax bases can be eroded, a significant source of base erosion is profit shifting. This report presents the studies and data available regarding the existence and magnitude of base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), and contains an overview of global developments that have an impact on corporate tax matters and identifies the key principles that underlie the taxation of cross-border activities, as well as the BEPS opportunities these principles may create. The report concludes that current rules provide opportunities to associate more profits with legal constructs and intangible rights and obligations, and to legally shift risk intra-group, with the result of reducing the share of profits associated with substantive operations. The report recommends the development of an action plan to address BEPS issues in a comprehensive manner.

With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals, the question of how to finance, implement and monitor these goals moves to the centre of the debate. Today, international development co-operation takes place in an increasingly complex environment, with an ever growing number of actors, policies and instruments involved. This complexity raises the stakes for achieving the goals, but also opens up new opportunities. Although governments will remain the key actors in the implementation of the new post-2015 goals, the role of non-state actors such as civil society, foundations and business is growing. Their association through effective partnerships will be key to the implementation of the post-2015 agenda. The Development Co-operation Report 2015 explores the potential of networks and partnerships to create incentives for responsible action, as well as innovative, fit-for-purpose ways of co-ordinating the activities of diverse stakeholders. The report - Making Partnerships Effective Coalitions for Action - looks at a number of existing partnerships working in diverse sectors, countries and regions to draw lessons and provide practical guidance, proposing ten success factors for post-2015 partnerships. A number of leading policy makers and politicians share their insights and views.

The world is becoming increasingly global. This raises important challenges for regulatory processes which still largely emanate from domestic jurisdictions.   In order to eliminate unnecessary regulatory divergences and to address global challenges pertaining to systemic risks, the environment, and human health and safety, governments increasingly seek to better articulate regulations across borders and to ensure greater enforcement of rules and their application cross jurisdictions remain largely under-analysed. 

This report gathers in a synthetic manner the knowledge and evidence available to date on the various mechanisms available to governments to promote regulatory co-operation, and their benefits and challenges. The review of evidence confirms the increased internationalisation of regulation, which takes place through a wide variety of mechanisms and multiple actors, and highlights a shift in the nature of IRC from complete 'harmonisation' of regulation to more flexible options - such as mutual recognition agreements. Despite growing regulatory co-operation, however, decision making on IRC is not informed by a clear understanding of benefits costs and success factors of the diverse IRC options.

Avec l'adoption des Objectifs de développement durable, la question de savoir comment financer, mettre en oeuvre ces objectifs et en suivre la réalisation s'invite au coeur du débat. Aujourd'hui, la coopération internationale pour le développement s'opère dans un contexte de plus en plus complexe, qui met en jeu un nombre grandissant d'acteurs, de politiques et d'instruments. Cette complexité, si elle rehausse les enjeux liés à la concrétisation des objectifs, ouvre également de nouvelles opportunités. Les gouvernements demeureront les principaux acteurs de la mise en oeuvre des objectifs de l'après-2015, mais le rôle des parties prenantes en dehors de la sphère publique -- société civile, fondations ou entreprises - s'amplifie. Leur association dans le cadre de partenariats efficaces sera déterminante pour la mise en oeuvre du programme d'objectifs post-2015.
Cette édition dévoile le potentiel des réseaux et des partenariats pour créer des incitations à une action responsable, ainsi que des moyens innovants et adaptés de coordonner les activités des diverses parties prenantes. Le rapport - Faire des partenariats de véritables coalitions pour l'action - passe en revue quelques-uns des partenariats existants, qui opèrent dans différents secteurs, pays ou régions. Il en dégage des enseignements débouchant sur des orientations concrètes qui s'articulent autour de dix facteurs de réussite applicables aux partenariats de l'après-2015. Quelques personnalités ou responsables politiques présentent leurs éclairages et points de vue à cet égard.

Regional development policy is a priority of Colombia's government. The country has experienced sustained economic growth over the past decade ; yet several territories still lack development opportunities. To promote growth in all regions the government has engaged in a series of reforms. For instance, it started allocating royalty payments generated by hydrocarbon resources to all departments and most municipalities, including those that are not endowed with natural resources. The reform also promotes better multilevel governance and represents a good policy practice for countries seeking to link natural resource development with regional development. To support the current efforts of Colombia's government, this report illustrates policy recommendations to help national authorities adopting a territorial approach to inclusive economic development. In particular, the OECD recommends to : a) improve the quantity and quality of regional statistics and formulate urban and rural taxonomies that help tailor policies to places ; b) involve territorial constituencies in the design of policy interventions and allocate to them more implementation responsibilities within the framework of the National Development Plan ; c) promote coordination among subnational bodies to scale up investment in territories to avoid that public investment - and royalty payments - gets dispersed in a myriad of small-scale projects.

Variations in health care use within a country are complicated. In some cases they may reflect differences in health needs, in patient preferences or in the diffusion of a therapeutic innovation; in others they may not. There is evidence that some of the observed variations are unwarranted, signalling under- or over-provision of health services, or both. This study documents geographic variations for high-cost and high-volume procedures in select OECD countries. It finds that there are wide variations not only across countries, but within them as well. A mix of patient preferences and physician practice styles likely play an important part in this, but what part of the observed variations reflects over-provision, or whether there are unmet needs, remain largely unexplained. This report helps policy makers better understand the issues and challenges around geographic variations in health care provision and considers the policy options.
