The right way against tax havens

 English below

Tax shelters allow high-net-worth individuals and corporations to avoid fair payments to mutual funds. The Tax Justice Network is an independent international organization that fights for fair tax systems and for international regulation that prevents tax evasion. Alex Cobham, economist and director of the Tax Justice Network, gives a talk on tax shelters and their effects. He also tells about ways to ensure that government support to companies due to the Covid crisis does not go to tax shelters and about the necessary reforms to ensure fair tax collection. The moderator is Róbert Farestveit, an economist at ASÍ.

Varða - the labor market research institute, ASÍ and BSRB are organizing a series of lunch meetings about the right way out of the crisis. At the meetings, theoretical discussion is interwoven with experience of the organized work of trade unions and other non-governmental organizations.

The meetings take place via Zoom and are open to everyone. Interpretation into Icelandic is offered, and to use it you have to click on the small globe that appears in the bar and select an interpretation. You can choose "mute original sound" to hear only the interpreter.
