Abstract
Over the past 15 years, a massive transformation of the international tax framework has occurred. Traditional instruments, like tax treaties and transfer pricing rules, have been modified and completed by new rules aiming to better fight tax evasion and tax avoidance, including a global minimum tax of 15% for large multinationals. Conducted by more than 100 countries, under the supervision of the G20, these changes have also fostered tax cooperation between authorities. What will happen to this reform in a context of geopolitical fragmentation and crisis of global governance?
