The final report of the twenty-ninth session (E/2025/45-E/C.18/2024/4) is now available, in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian.

The UN Tax Committee was held its 29^th Session at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland from 15 to 18 October 2024.

This was the penultimate session of this Committee membership, focused on delivering its ambitious program of work for the 2021-2025 period. On the agenda are issues as diverse as they are key to developing countries. These include taxing the digitalized and globalized economy, tax treaties, extractive industries taxation, transfer pricing, environmental taxes, wealth taxes, health taxes and the relationship of tax, trade and investment, among others.

The Committee comprises 25 members, nominated by Governments, selected by the UN Secretary-General and acting in their expert capacity. The Members are drawn from the fields of tax policy and tax administration and reflect the diversity of the UN membership, in terms of geographical regions and tax systems.

In all its work, the Committee gives special focus to developing countries, including the least developed, small island states and landlocked countries. Please find further information on the Committee here.

Meetings were open to participation by observers from Member States and other stakeholders, including international and regional organizations, academia, civil society, and the private sector. The work of the Committee benefits immensely from multi-stakeholder engagement in its Subcommittees, as well as in its twice-yearly sessions.
