      In a similar vein, compare UK and Ukraine on the Corruption Perceptions Index. It's as if perceptions are... biased?https://twitter.com/LeaskyHT/status/871822161341800449 …

      It's not that Ukraine and Nigeria don't have serious problems. But are we still blind to the secrecy that drives corruption?

      #Taxjustice agenda has sought to reframe debate, recognising national policy responsibility but also the global secrecy facilitating abuse

      The UN Sustainable Development Goal 16.4, to reduce illicit financial flows, reflects the major role of financial centres and multinationals

      But there is a serious pushback, aiming to exclude corporate tax avoidance and to put the onus purely on lower-income countries once more

      To perceive corruption, or tax injustice, only as responsibility of lower-income countries that suffer, is a vicious form of victim blaming

      @DanNeidle - The Swiss/Nigeria case fits the definition of IFFs as involving illegality - how is it reason for a different definition?

          Per the thread: It's a reason to challenge the attempt to redefine 16.4 as an issue for lower income countries to address alone.

          Seems to conflate issues. Do IFFs involve biz, intermediaries, banks in rich countries? Yes. Clearly. Is this same as BEPS etc? No

          Can't see benefits. And MNEs accused of A, not poor countries. Most of the action on avoidance aimed at MNEs and home countries, not poorer

          Right, Iain - this is about the attempt to remove avoidance (and wider international action) from the SDGs target, when clearly needed
