South African Revenue Service use TJN information
September 12th, 2006
Moneyweb in South Africa has reported that the South African Revenue Service, responsible for collecting tax in the country, uses Tax Justice Network information to help it in its work. Their spokesperson, Adrian Lackay is reported as saying:
Revenue is using TJN’s information to understand international tax trends, tax evasion and avoidance, and examine how money is hidden
We know they’re not alone. And we’re pleased to help.
Mind you, some funding would also be of benefit as well. We can’t live on thin air.
Maybe its time for the TJN to receive funding from (international boundaries ignored – therefore not just the UK) government coffers to conduct research into improving (out with the old) the tax system instead of all the usual suspects conducting research that is ultimately a waste of money and time, why do I keep thinking about Lord Carter and his recent upset on self assessment filing dates?
Richard - we have plans
