Looking forward to my visits & thanks to Dean @ProfKristenBoon for the invitation.
I am glad to share my latest blog on the global minimum tax proposed by the OECD as part of its solutions to the tax consequences of the digitalized economy. I propose an alternative way to evaluate provisions enabling illicit financial flows in international tax instruments.
Drawing on potential above tax avoidance, @opebel examines some provisns in the global minimum tax to explain how MNCs can leverage the loophole/abuse the provisions in a manner that affects realization of African states’ objectives in [curtailing] IFFs.
