Our co-chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social will have a simple message when she speaks to #g20 leaders tomorrow:
"Wealth inequality has exploded, a few players have exercised inordinate power not only on global economy, but global politics, information, society".
It's time for action!

US multinational corporations are booking more profit in the US than they did before Trump’s Tax Cuts & Jobs Act but are paying less tax. $438bn more profit booked, $45bn less tax paid. And they didn’t bring jobs stateside #TerribleTaxDeal #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

I am a supporter of fundamental tax reform.

TaxJusticeNetwork has helped me understand international tax evasion and tax fraud for years now.

Strongly suggest you give them a follow!

The world is at a fork in the road. One path leads to tax subjugation under Trump & US multinationals, while the other leads to a collective defence of tax sovereignty at the UN that protects every country’s taxing rights. @alexcobham.bsky.social#UNtaxConvention #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

Making multinationals publicly disclose country-by-country reports would boost tax revenues and curb abuse. The UN Framework Convention offers a chance to establish public reporting as a unified standard. @icrict.bsky.social

“If the US pulls out, the rest of the world can still move forward,” said #ICRICT Co-chair @JosephEStiglitz at #G-24 event during the #WBGMeetings. He called for a 'G20 minus one' framework to defend the #UNtaxconvention and global multilateralism.

Listen. ⤵

While 120+ countries joined past OECD tax negotiations, “80 or 90 were effectively excluded” - Egypt's Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk said at #G-24 event #WBGMeetings. The new #UNTaxConvention, he noted, will help close that gap — with stronger capacity, inclusion & equal participation.
