Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting US today announced the launch of its new comprehensive Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Resource Center online, as well as the availability of a new "Base Erosion and Profit Shifting - Are You Ready?" digital e-book and print version. Up-to-date global tax resources for guidance on BEPS and other key issues for cross-border transactions are also now available at Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting's Global Positioning online resource page.

These resources were developed in major part to prepare professionals who advise clients in complying with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) BEPS Action Plans, which are set to begin in 2016. The BEPS solutions, which include country-by-country reporting, are an essential source of guidance and tools to prepare and fully comply with these complex new disclosures and other requirements.

The BEPS Resource Center is designed to help tax professionals and corporate tax departments understand and prepare for BEPS and maximize their readiness to most effectively plan and comply now. It provides unique guidance, best practices and thought leadership written by leading tax professionals around the world, and offers:

  • Tax experts on the ground - in every region around the world - tracking developments daily to help tax professionals stay ahead of the multitude of complex changes resulting from the OECD's BEPS Action Plan, as well as information about individual countries implementing legislation.
  • Information provided in customizable tracker news.
  • Thought leadership from the experts on BEPS and Transfer Pricing located around the globe -all in one place.
  • BEPS information in context, with existing law and analysis, providing a comprehensive picture of a jurisdiction's tax system, allowing professionals and the corporations they support to stay on top of these changes.
  • 50 jurisdictions covered including the EU/EC. As more countries implement changes related to BEPS, Wolters Kluwer, Tax & Accounting coverage will continue to grow with additional jurisdictions, guidance and tools, keeping tax profesionals up to date and helping them navigate through challenges for multinational corporations and their advisors.

"In making sure our customers have all the resources they need to serve clients, our new BEPS guide and online resource center are designed to provide expert guidance and to answer questions regarding this relatively new field of tax reporting."
