The next G7 summit is in Biarritz at the end of August.
The G7 Research Group at the Munk Scool at the University of Toronto has published a guide to the key issues in advance of the summit, as it always does:
This includes a couple of pages on the work Andrew Baker of Sheffield University and I are doing on tax spillovers, which we (and presumably Munk) think is an issue the G7 should be looking at (click on the image for a bigger version and then tap that one again):
There is more on tax spillovers here.

Well there will be negligible positive support from the IMF if the US doesn’t like it; ditto World Bank I suspect, and the Americans will stymie anything the UN has a hand in on principle.
And Brexit (under a Johnsonian headbanger cabinet) puts us firmly on the side of the US….unless we are prepared to starve. and wither.
Am I being unduly pessimistic ? Maybe I need to take more ‘happy pills’.
I think US alignment from these organisations can no longer be assumed
Since the US doesn’t pay its UN dues and the General Assembly begins to assert itself (banning nuclear weapons) and this exercise does not need cooperation from countries just knowledge of their tax rates I’m not sure how the US proposes to stop the UN in particular from doing this.
