The report provides an overview of the tax measures introduced during the COVID-19 crisis across almost 70 jurisdictions, including all OECD and G20 countries and 21 additional members of the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting. It examines how tax policy responses have varied across countries and evolved over the last year. It also offers some guidance as to how tax policy responses could be adapted to address the short-term challenges countries face and outlines future work that the OECD will be undertaking to help countries reassess their tax and spending policies in the longer run.

Macroeconomic background

This Chapter provides a general assessment of the macroeconomic situation and outlook. It covers trends in growth, industrial activity, trade, investment, the labour market, public finances and inflation, based on the OECD Economic Outlook, Interim Report March 2021. This background is useful to understand the context in which the tax measures discussed in the report were adopted (Chapter 2), but also to identify how tax policy responses may need to evolve in the future (Chapter 3).
