Public comments are invited on technical issues identified in a [request for input ](http://www.oecd.org/tax/treaties/BEPS-Discussion-draft-Multilateral-Instrument.pdf?utm_source=Adestra&utm_medium=email&utm_content=request%20for%20input&utm_campaign=Tax%20News%20Alert%2001-06-2016&utm_term=demo)related to the development of a multilateral instrument to implement the tax-treaty related BEPS measures.

The report on Action 15 of the BEPS Action Plan (Developing a Multilateral Instrument to Modify Bilateral Tax Treaties) concludes that a multilateral instrument to modify bilateral tax treaties to implement the tax treaty-related BEPS measures is not only feasible but also desirable, and that negotiations for the instrument should be convened quickly. Based on this report, an Ad Hoc Group was established on 27 May 2015 with the objective of developing a multilateral instrument to modify existing bilateral tax treaties in order to swiftly implement the tax treaty measures developed in the course of the OECD-G20 BEPS Project.

Comments and input should be sent by e-mail no later than 30 June 2016.
