Release of improved MLI notifications and editorial alert notices in treaties

Covered tax agreements affected by the MLI will contain a notice about the PPT/SLOB applicability. More in general, all alert boxes with relevant information about the applicability of the MLI will be shown more prominently.

Improved Topic Search selection filter

We have enhanced the IBFD taxonomy, which makes using the Topic Search selection filter even more effective when searching for relevant information on our IBFD Platform.

Improved action and comparison functionality

The navigation and outline filter functionality of the Table comparisons will be merged to make them easier to use. We also plan to introduce outline filter functionality in side-by-side views. This should be really helpful for zooming in on the same aspect in a tax system across countries.
