2nd Conference on Tax Transparency

A joint event from NHH Norwegian School of Economics & NoCeT, TRR 266 Accounting for Transparency and Fair Tax Foundation

ON CAMPUS AT NHH & ZOOM

Tax avoidance and evasion is a global problem which deprives governments and society as a whole of the substantial revenue highly needed to finance public spending. As stated by the OECD, tax transparency is a key policy tool to tackle tax evasion and avoidance. As a result, several tax transparency initiatives have been launched. Beyond policymakers also investors are increasingly demanding more disclosure of tax information. This is in line with the overall focus of shareholders on company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives since tax represents an increasingly important component of a company’s ESG agenda. Speakers from academia, industry, and government will come together to discuss the benefits and limits of existing tax transparency initiatives and how the future of tax transparency will look like. The event on campus is by invitation only while everyone can follow the event live stream on zoom.
