Manal Corwin appointed new Director of its Centre for Tax Policy and Administration

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) today released a statement announcing that Manal Corwin has been appointed to serve as the next Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration beginning 3 April 2023. Ms. Corwin is currently the partner-in-charge of KPMG’s Washington National Tax (WNT) office.

Ms. Corwin will lead the work of the Centre across all areas, including the two-pillar solution to the tax challenges of digitisation, the base erosion and profit-shifting (BEPS project), the tax transparency agenda, and the Centre’s participation in the OECD’s new Inclusive Forum on carbon mitigation approaches.

According to today’s statement, the appointment of Ms. Corwin takes into account the highly specialized expertise and knowledge needed for this position and will ensure the seamless and successful continuation of the Centre’s critically important work following the recent departure of Pascal Saint-Amans as Director of the Centre after 12 years in the role, and the statutory retirement of former Deputy Director and current Director of the Centre, Grace Perez-Navarro on 31 March 2023.

The seamless continuation of the Centre’s important work will also be supported by the appointment of David Bradbury and Achim Pross, as Deputy Directors of the Centre. Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Pross served respectively as the Head of the OECD Tax Policy and Statistics Division between 2014 and 2022, and as Head of the OECD International Co-operation and Tax Administration Division between 2011 and 2022.
