TOKYO (Reuters) -Financial leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) advanced countries will hold talks on&nbsp;July&nbsp;16&nbsp;on the sidelines of the broader G20&nbsp;meeting in India, Japanese&nbsp;Finance&nbsp;Minister Shunichi&nbsp;Suzuki&nbsp;said on Friday.
The&nbsp;G7&nbsp;groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States.
"Support for&nbsp;Ukraine, MDBs (multilateral development banks) reform and international&nbsp;taxation&nbsp;will be&nbsp;discussed at this&nbsp;meeting,"&nbsp;Suzuki&nbsp;added. "We have no plan to issue a statement but we will lead debates to resolve problems the world faces."
Separately, G20 under the chair India will&nbsp;discuss&nbsp;the&nbsp;global&nbsp;economy and health insurance, sustainable&nbsp;finance&nbsp;and infrastructure,&nbsp;global&nbsp;financial architecture,&nbsp;global&nbsp;tax reform and inclusive&nbsp;finance, he said.
Suzuki&nbsp;welcomed an agreement on Thursday by around 140 members of the OECD/G20 'Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS),' on a key statement recognising the significant progress towards major&nbsp;global&nbsp;tax reform.
This pact helps "bring stability and certainty to international&nbsp;taxation&nbsp;system. It's designed to review the principle&nbsp;global&nbsp;tax scheme over the past century and can be historic,"&nbsp;Suzuki&nbsp;said.
Countries with digital services taxes have agreed to hold off applying them for at least another year as a&nbsp;global&nbsp;multinationals tax deal to replace them was pushed back. More than 140 countries were supposed to start implementing next year a 2021 deal overhauling decades-old rules on how governments tax multinationals that are widely considered to be outdated.
