In this installment, Owens talks to Stig Sollund, a member of the United Nations Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters and the director general of international tax with the Norwegian Ministry of Finance, about the U.N. Tax Committee’s work. This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. The full interview can be seen at https://www.wu.ac.at/wutv/show/clip/20160210- firesidechat.
