In the December 2016 Tax Justice Network Taxcast<\/a>: In trusts we trust? We look at the new game in town: beneficial ownership avoidance, the booming industry in alternative escape vehicles from public registers and why we must shine the spotlight on all of them.<\/p>\n

Plus: we discuss two big stories we think will define 2017: the race to the bottom between nations on tax aka a transfer of wealth to the corporate community, and how the world\u2019s biggest havens are increasingly having to account for the devastating effect their tax and\/or financial secrecy policies are having on human rights around the\u00a0world.<\/p>\n

We also report from the appeal of tax justice heroes Antoine Deltour<\/a> and Rapahel Halet<\/a> in Luxembourg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring: Lawyer Paul Beckett<\/a> of cyber-intelligence agency Synceritas<\/a>, journalist and financial sleuth Richard Smith<\/a> of Naked Capitalism<\/a>, and John Christensen of the Tax Justice Network<\/a>. Produced and presented for the Tax Justice Network by Naomi Fowler<\/a>.<\/p>\n
