What's incorrect in what I said? I said tax dodging is a global issue. It is. And the film doesn't relate to Africa. Which it doesn't.
72% of the WHO estimates relates to LICs and LMICs. The $100 bn avoidance estimate mainly (85%) relates to UMIC and HIC developing countries -- taxes collected in China & Mexico will not be spent on basic healthcare in Malawi & Cambodia.

Mathew - Now I am wonder if you had seen the criticism of the video?

I have but don't agree with you. People have to be engaged before they'll even hear the reasoned facts. The film is a creative (& non-geog specific) allegory on the consequences of tax dodging that does that. 1 million have seen it, now open to further info on tax and inequality.

Capacity building for tax inspectors a helpful contribution from UK. Campaigns which present companies investing in developing countries as masked villains not so much. Both Mail & Oxfam oversimplifying for shock value.https://www.cgdev.org/blog/oxfam-tax-evasion-shock-video-distressing-wrong-reasons …

Not seen anyone arguing against better tax compliance. Q on video/article and if fair reflection of problems, poss solns, outcomes. If we use third party allocation of $3bn tax lost, with Lancet analysis, that gives $300mn for health. A modest sum, yet may be sig for outcomes?
