We need those inspectors back to sort out tax dodging by the wealthy. Oh, wait ...

I think we need some more resources for tax authorities.

As do developing countries, whose citizens are getting ripped off by corporate tax dodgers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bAdpodJkB9c …

Sorry but can't agree with that video. Comments from myself and

You don't agree tax dodging deprives countries of resources that could go on public services? I think you expect a lot from a 2-min film intended to raise awareness of the issue, as part of a wider tax/inequality campaign.

The key $100bn figure they quote is misleading. Very little of it relates to Africa.

Nor does the film or campaign. It's a global issue.

That’s incorrect. The WHO data they cite relates to poor countries to which only 15% of the $100bn relates. That’s highly misleading.

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.
