OECD – MAP Statistics Reporting Framework. BEPS Action 14. The Report on Action 14: Making Dispute Resolution Mechanisms More Effective (“the 2015 Action 14 Report”) was approved by the OECD Committee of Fiscal Affairs (“CFA”) in September, presented to the OECD Council and endorsed by the G20 Finance Ministers on 8 October 2015. This Report contained a commitment by countries engaged in the work to the implementation of a minimum standard to ensure that they resolve treaty-related disputes in a timely, effective and efficient manner and to have their compliance with the minimum standard reviewed by their peers – i.e. the ot her members of the Forum on Tax Administration MAP Forum (“the FTA MAP Forum”). One of the elements of the minimum standard requires jurisdictions to seek to resolve mutual agreement procedure (“MAP”) cases within an average time frame of 24 months. To monitor compliance with this, jurisdictions’ progress toward meeting this target will be periodically reviewed on the basis of the statistics prepared in accordance with an agreed reporting framework. The 2015 Action 14 Report explains that the reporting framework will include agreed milestones for the initiation and conclusion/closing of a MAP case, as well as other relevant stages of the MAP process. The minimum standard also requires jurisdictions to provide timely and complete reporting of MAP statistics, pursuant to the agreed reporting framework. The agreed reporting framework is set out in this note. Section II describes the MAP process to the extent it is relevant for MAP statistics reporting purposes, in particular focusing on the relevant milestones. Section III sets out the statistics reporting templates for the reporting and publication of MAP case inventory and MAP outcomes, and the average time taken for each of the key stages of the MAP process, including the definition of terms used.
