This week, we're starting our adventure into how countries tax international businesses. Recently, there's been a lot of talk about how big companies plan their taxes to pay as little as possible. We're going to look into why everyone's talking about this now, what the big discussions are really about, and who's involved. We'll also get to the basics of how these companies plan their taxes by looking at a base case, which we'll explore more as the course goes on.

Building on our initial discussions, we will focus on the subsequent phase of the OECD's initiative, referred to as BEPS 2.0. This segment of the project represents a continuation and evolution of the strategies initially introduced to tackle base erosion and profit shifting. Through our exploration, we will gain insights into the more advanced measures and recommendations proposed under BEPS 2.0, understanding their significance in the global tax landscape.
