Morality Matters: Tax ethics, integrity & transparency
The ethics of reducing tax liabilities is increasingly problematic when it is aggressively avoided using creative schemes never intended by the legislature, and yet, in a strict reading, they abide by the letter of the law.
Our expert panellists will discuss the current state of affairs in the aftermath of the Pandora Papers, the irreparable damage that tax data leaks are doing to trust in the fairness of the taxation systems, what is being done to fix a broken system. The panel includes speakers from tax authorities, financial firms and pressure groups will consider the efficacy of tax transparency measures, from enactment to enforcement, including the test of regulatory resolve and international cooperation under J5 when dealing with scandals, such as the Cum-Ex challenge, and also at emergent threats such as digital currencies.
