NGO: US and EU 'watering-down' tax reform prior to G20
By EUobserver
Oxfam warned on Friday that the US and some EU countries, such as Sweden, Ireland, Denmark and Belgium, are trying to water-down global tax reform, ahead of the G20 finance ministers and central bank governments summit in Saudi Arabia this weekend. "If these countries get their way, big corporations will continue to get away without paying their fair share of tax," said Oxfam tax policy advisor, Johan Langerock.
