10. International Tax Justice Justice Studio Sessions

Welcome to Episode 10 of Justice Studio Sessions. In this episode we look at international tax abuse. As part of this discussion, we look in-depth at illicit financial flows, tax havens, financial secrecy and imperialism.
Joining us for this discussion is Alex Cobham, an economist and chief executive of the Tax Justice Network. He is also a founding member of the steering group of the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation, and of the technical advisory group for the Fair Tax Mark, and a commissioner for the Scottish Government’s Poverty and Inequality Commission. His work focuses on illicit financial flows, effective taxation for development, and inequality. His books include The Uncounted; Estimating Illicit Financial Flows: A Critical Guide to the Data, Methodologies, and Findings, with Petr Janský; and just published by SAGE, ‘What do we know, and what should we do about tax justice?’
Alex talks us through how we can counter the problem of international tax abuse through tax justice including setting out how we can use reparations to counter the effects of centuries of colonialism.
