Global efforts to tackle corporate tax avoidance are set to get new momentum on Thursday, when nations meet in Kyoto to discuss and possibly sign up to international rules introduced last year.

The two-day meeting by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Committee on Fiscal Affairs will take place amid new scrutiny of tax havens following the so-called Panama Papers scandal.

The gathering is expected to see more countries joining the 46 nations that have imposed tougher rules on corporate tax avoidance by multinationals.
