@MForstater @alexcobham Inconsistent within the blog post: infographic says 'Iillicit financial flows'.

@martinhearson @alexcobham right. so I'm trying to work out if he is saying 1) what you said (but mistaking tax when he means IFFs total)

@martinhearson @alexcobham or 2) 'we really think that tax dodging costs DCs >$600 bn but it is hard to prove'

@MForstater @alexcobham So actually it is not inconsistent, he is saying of the $634bn IFFs, most is corporate tax dodging

@martinhearson @alexcobham - thnx for help w clarifying! My Q( it’s a real Q) is there reason to think tax gap this high, or purely mistake?

@MForstater @alexcobham where do they say it's the tax gap?

@martinhearson @alexcobham ‘$634 mainly due to tax evasion’,‘tax avoidance likely to b much >’ - reads like they understand this as lost tax
