TAХ EVASION IS NOT A LAW OF NATURE IT IS A POLICY
Yesterday IE University’s School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs (Spain) held a presentation of Global Tax Evasion Report prepared by the staff of the EU Tax Observatory “Fighting Global Tax Evasion: What Happened, What Could Happen Now”.
A key message of this report presented by Gabriel Zucman is that tax evasion is not a law of nature but a policy choice. As interconnected nations we can choose free-for-all policies that allow it to fester, or we can choose coordination to curb it. It is also possible to make major progress through unilateral action, should ambitious global agreements fail.
