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. afronomicslaw.org/category/a…

A court decision in Canada finding KPMG guilty of promoting an illegal tax avoidance plan is sending a strong message to tax advisers—spell out legal risks clearly to clients when approving their tax strategies. btaxgo.com/1Zi6uOS
