The latest edition of Taxing Times with ITR covers all the controversy from a dramatic period for the carve-out deal, and also dissects the big four's AI strategies

In the second edition of ITR's new monthly podcast series, ITR Editor Tom Baker and Senior Reporter Sam Sholli dive into all the controversies and nuances of the US/OECD side-by-side arrangement on pillar two.

From a clash of ideas between two tax policy heavyweights to Brazilian businesses citing implementation struggles, the ITR editorial team covers all the ground from a dramatic period for the carve-out deal.

Also on the agenda: bespoke ITR research which suggests that gender equality in the tax profession has improved "significantly", and a dissection of the AI strategies of the big four accountancy firms.

We hope you enjoy listening. Please contact Tom or Sam to discuss participation opportunities.
