Addressing international tax cooperation at the UN would contribute to other UN competencies, in particular with regard to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).[1][2]

Under Resolution 78/230 of 22 December 2023, the General Assembly established an Ad Hoc Committee to draft the terms of reference for a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation by August 2024.
