Presentation:
Despite a decade of global tax reform, the current tax rules fail to address inequality both within and between countries. In late 2022, the member states of the United Nations (UN) member states unanimously voted to launch intergovernmental discussions on proposals for a new international framework for tax cooperation under the auspices of the UN.
This two-day conference aims to explore the potential of a UN Tax Convention to:
- supporting meaningful progress against tax abuse,
- reducing inequalities within and between countries,
- strengthening the ability of states to respond to the climate crisis.
Who should attend?
This conference is free to attend to everyone and is likely to be of particular interest to academics, journalists, NGOs and policy makers working in the international tax policy space, or with a focus on inequality and human rights.
