Melinda Brown

Senior Advisor at OECD

Speaker

Melinda Brown is a senior tax advisor at the OECD’s Centre for Tax Policy and Administration with over 20 years’ experience in international tax.

Melinda is based in the OECD’s Jakarta office, where she is responsible for managing the OECD’s engagement with countries in Asia and the Pacific on tax matters. Her area of focus involves supporting jurisdictions in the region to participate in and implement the anti-Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) measures, including the two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges of the digitalisation of the economy.

As the head of a team supporting developing country members of the Inclusive Framework, Melinda has worked to assist capacity-constrained countries in addressing BEPS. Melinda was the main author of the OECD’s reports on Developing Countries and International Tax presented to G20 Finance Ministers from 2021 to 2023, and is an active member of the UN Transfer Pricing Subcommittee.

Before joining the OECD, Melinda was a competent authority for Australia and a senior transfer pricing specialist at the Australian Taxation Office and the Australian Treasury.
