Welcome to the Taxcast, the Tax Justice Network's monthly podcast. Here you'll find news and unique analysis on tax justice, corruption and scandal you won't find anywhere else! Featuring former banking and tax haven insiders, economists and tax justice experts. It's presented and produced by Naomi Fowler with a regular appearance from the Tax Justice Network's John Christensen. Available on iTunes, Stitcher etc.
In the January 2017 Taxcast we look at tax justice and public
procurement - the efforts to hit tax dodging companies where it
really hurts on a local level – trying to stop them bidding for
public money for public contracts. Also:
how massive amounts of money are flowing into Tax Haven USA to
circumvent the flawed Common Reporting Standard - South Dakota is
apparently raking in tax evading capital
the slippery world of ‘residence planning’ and the ‘synthetic
residency’ dodge
we discuss the UK’s Criminal Finances Bill likely to be passed
this year, which includes proposals for ‘Unexplained Wealth Orders’
and holding tax evading enablers to account. An amendment to the
bill could force UK satellite tax havens, the overseas territories
to create public registers of the real owners of companies,
something they’ve so far refused to do.
and we consider the British threat to the EU: ‘if you give us a
bad Brexit deal, we’ll push regulation-lite, tax haven UK even
further in a race to the bottom and shoot ourselves in the
foot.’
The Taxcast is a monthly podcast/radio show from the Tax Justice Network with the latest from the world of tax havens, financial secrecy and tax abuse. We explore these most challenging ethical and economic issues of our times with transformational economic analysis you won’t hear anywhere else.
