While countries are currently going through the biggest economic crisis since the crash of 1929, they are simultaneously incurring debt to combat the effects of COVID-19. Now more than ever, international tax cooperation is essential to ensure that the cost of the crisis is fairly shared among all taxpayers and that our governments have the means to finance the various economic stimulus measures taken. "Without such cooperation, tax competition could increase to the detriment of communities everywhere," says Brigitte Alepin, co-founder of TaxCOOP.
TaxCOOP offers a new experience with creative events , including debates, international competitions, brainstorming workshops, citizens' evenings, and a presentation of the documentary, Fast & Dangerous Race to the Bottom.
