Still relevant on why the definition of illicit financial flows should include aggressive tax avoidance: it looks like the biggest part of the problem & the biggest fix to developing country revenue https://bit.ly/2NU03Lr @TaxJusticeNet

As
@iaincampbell07 said the@alexcobham@petr_jansky estimates are much larger than others (here is the graph compared to@gabriel_zucman@LudvigWier@TTorslov ). As C&J note the IMF paper methodology its based on is mechanical & generates $#s for countries without tax datapic.twitter.com/poJGhFgoBI

Replying to @MForstater @TaxJusticeNet and
Thanks for v helpful comments. I agree illegal $ flows & aggressive tax avoidance (ATA) need different answers. And huge work to do on both. But if ATA is denying
$bns of state revenue, then it's a big deal. E.g. https://bit.ly/2wYd68p & https://bit.ly/2CFjd6V2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Avoidance (don't think aggressive fits analytical tools) bad on several counts (distorts level playing field, knock on to overall compliance, etc). Problem is quantification. The TZW paper shows bulk of tax losses not SDG. Per capita for SDGs v low. Maya has some relative figs.pic.twitter.com/8RI2HHcPFx
