Doubling Down on Tax Competition and Secrecy: Launch of two new reports Four Ways to Tackle Tax Competition By the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation & Overcoming the Shadow Economy by Mark Pieth and Joseph E. Stiglitz

In the wake of the G20/OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting proposals for tax reform, countries are grappling with the question of how to enhance their cooperation to tackle deep-seated problems in international corporate taxation. These problems include tax competition between countries, both in terms of the erosion of corporate tax base and rates, which risks undermining progress on tax reform to date. In addition, the revelations of the Luxembourg Leaks and the Panama Papers illustrate that globally, secrecy is a problem: it facilitates both money laundering and tax avoidance and evasion, contributing to crime and unacceptably high levels of global wealth inequality. This panel event will feature discussions of two new reports dealing with tax competition and financial and tax secrecy and recommendations for reforming the international tax system.
