      . @unctad are hosting an expert meeting to consult on statistical methodologies for measuring illicit financial flows. This is what I wrote following the last meeting of experts. https://www.cgdev.org/blog/idea-counting-dollars-illicit-financial-flows-undermining-action-where-it-counts …. This time I wasn't invited 🙄

      The composition of these working groups shifts around, and i should not take this personally. The thing i worry though is generally experts on MNC tax issues, beyond the tax justice movement don't show up to meetings on IFFs because they think it is outside of their competence

      So there it risks falling into a bubble where it seems like there is broad agreement that BEPS is part of IFFs when in fact there is no such consensus. It does not have to be me of course, but I hope there was someone better qualified from the tax world there to make that point

      Its a catch 22 because people who know about BEPS but don't see it as part of IFFs have no reason to be involved in such discussions, so IFFs ends up being a way to talk about tax without those experts. Which seems counterproductive to me!'

      Meanwhile the official indicator that has been proposed for tax related IFFs is 'misalignment' between reported profits and employee headcount+sales based on @OECDtax 's compilation of CbCR reports (which is something that tax people would have something to say about!)pic.twitter.com/Q2N86hS0ed

      Anyway, I hope I am worrying about nothing and there was a robust discussion with experts from all sides of the tax debates.

          Replying to @MForstater

          In other words, let's take that arbitrary set of FA factors as the true way to allocate profits, and then make any deviation an IFF? The consensus approach... 😙
