👀-4 days to @un.org tax convention negotiations in Nairobi!! Wonder why it matters? "Fiscal justice requires tax coordination at the global level — typically at the level of the United Nations rather than a ‘rich club,’ which is the @oecd-ocde.bsky.social" says @thomaspiketty.bsky.social 🎥 Here👇

Thank you, @icrict.bsky.social, for posting.

👀Which corporations robbed the UK of $54 billion? The government has the tax records. Make them public. #NameTheTaxCheaters #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25 @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social

US multinational corporations are booking more profit in the US than they did before Trump’s Tax Cuts & Jobs Act but are paying less tax. $438bn more profit booked, $45bn less tax paid. And they didn’t bring jobs stateside #TerribleTaxDeal #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

I am a supporter of fundamental tax reform. TaxJusticeNetwork has helped me understand international tax evasion and tax fraud for years now. Strongly suggest you give them a follow!

The world is at a fork in the road. One path leads to tax subjugation under Trump & US multinationals, while the other leads to a collective defence of tax sovereignty at the UN that protects every country’s taxing rights. @alexcobham.bsky.social#UNtaxConvention #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

Making multinationals publicly disclose country-by-country reports would boost tax revenues and curb abuse. The UN Framework Convention offers a chance to establish public reporting as a unified standard. @icrict.bsky.social #UNtaxConvention #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

🚨 Historic moment at the #G20: The first-ever report on global inequality, presented by our co-chair @josephestiglitz.bsky.social: "It's not the laws of nature that determine inequality. It's the laws that we pass." 🫵Time to rewrite the rules. Full report here: shorturl.at/P8WGu

'If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but hey, give your money away, shorties— @billieeilishnews.bsky.social She's right. The world doesn’t need billionaires and whilst they give their money away, let’s ensure they pay their fair share. #TaxTheRich. #TaxThePower Here:

"To accept the US claim to ‘exceptionalism’ on international tax matters (or worse, to allow Washington to write tax rules for the whole world) should clearly be unacceptable in a world of sovereign, independent nations." - @jayatighosh.bsky.social and @josephestiglitz.bsky.social

If you are in Canberra next week, join #ICRICT co-chair @jayatighosh.bsky.social keynote at the ACFID Australia 60th anniversary conference. 📅 Thursday 6th November ⏰ 9:20am (Australia time) (It's Wednesday 5th November 5:20pm US 🇺🇸ET) Full program here: acfidconference2025.com/acfid/#program

A shift is underway in global tax governance. At the #WBGMeetings, emerging countries and experts renewed their call to move rule-making to the UN — for fairer, more inclusive decision-making. Here’s how Brazil, Egypt and @josephestiglitz.bsky.social framed the moment.🧵⬇️

At #WBGMeetings, Chile’s Finance Minister, Nicolás Grau Veloso, noted that 2% of new public revenues now come mainly from the wealthy — including a copper royalty raising $2 billion. Far from deterring investors, the reform reduced uncertainty and increased investment. Listen. ⤵

Important piece from @icrict.bsky.social co-chairs @jayatighosh.bsky.social and @josephestiglitz.bsky.social on the need for countries to stand together in the UN tax convention, in the face of US aggression. www.cnbcafrica.com/2025/the-us-...

At #WBGMeetings, Carlos Cuerpo, Spain's Minister of Economy, Trade and Enterprise called his country “a success story — period.” He noted that taxing 12,000 individuals with assets above €3M has supported growth and fairness, proving wealth taxes can work. Listen.⤵️

The 🇺🇸 administration is determined to destroy international tax cooperation: the global minimum tax, digital services taxes, the #UNtaxconvention & the #IMO levy. It’s time for countries to push back! Here's our proposal for protecting multilateralism: lnkd.in/dtKfhJkd

“We need to build on what was done at the OECD, but ensure all lessons are learned. The capacity gap prevented meaningful participation of developing countries. At the UN, we must fix that — with stronger financial & capacity support for low-income countries.” — Egypt's Ahmed Kouchouk

“Taxation of cross-border services is critical to developing countries. Services have become increasingly cross-border, creating serious challenges for today’s tax system. OECD rules prioritizing residence taxation remain a major barrier.” — Iyabo Masha, #G24

"Cross-border services remain one of the most contentious issues of the negotiation of the UN Framework Convention. Brazil supports taxing where the economic activity actually occurs,” explained Brazil's Antonio Freitas - Assistant Vice-Minister for International Affairs.

When we talk about extreme wealth inequality, we need to recognize that historically, great wealth has caused great pain in this country. Massive wealth accumulation seems to be unable to separate itself from cruelty. @abigaildisney.bsky.social

"One ethical reason for acknowledging that there is excessive wealth, is that its existence is starkly contrasted with the significant levels of poverty. As long as people live in extreme poverty, the presence of extreme wealth is morally unacceptable." - Nora Lustig at #IMFMeetings.

We are so grateful for members like @abigaildisney.bsky.social who are willing to share their experiences AND speak out about the extreme dangers extreme wealth poses to any society 💕

"Extreme wealth has been driving inflation in housing prices, distorting democracy, locking in carbon, and fueling cross border tax abuse. There are many negative spillovers of high wealth inequality" - Political Economist Fernanda Balata at #IMFMeetings.

“I was born into wealth, and wealth just became more wealth. There is a thing as too much wealth, it’s bad for the world and it’s bad for those who own it, it’s alienating and morally corrosive." Abigail Disney at #IMFMeetings. @patrioticmillionaires.org @patmillsuk.bsky.social

🚨Join us today, Oct 15, 3PM ET Extreme wealth is threatening democracy itself. #ICRICT & partners convene @carloscuerpo.bsky.social, Nico Grau, @Tatiana Rosito & @josephestiglitz.bsky.social to map strategies for fair taxation of multinationals & the super-rich. 🎥https://shorturl.at/6E9N1

3️⃣ pilares para la justicia fiscal climática, según José Antonio Ocampo en la conf. 'A Climate for Change' en @taxjustice.net: 🔹 Tributación justa de multinacionales en países donde operan 🔹 Impuestos a los super-ricos (en sintonía con #G20 Brasil) 🔹 Registro Mundial de Activos

🔹673 milhões de pessoas enfrentam a fome 🔹3 refeições diárias para todos custariam US$ 315 bilhões 🔹Um imposto global de 2% sobre os super-ricos poderia acabar com essa fome Presidente @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social em @worldfoodforum.bsky.social .⤵️

🔹673 million people face hunger. 🔹3 daily meals for all would cost $315 billion. 🔹That's just 12% of the $2.7 trillion spent annually on weapons. A 2% global tax on super-rich could end this hunger, explained President @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social at the World Food Forum in Italy. Listen. ⤵️

La présidente de groupe macroniste @valeriehayer.bsky.social en appelle à une réforme de la fiscalité pour faire payer les multinationales. Mais qui a bloqué un taux d'imposition minimum à 25% des entreprises pour stopper l'évasion fiscale ? La France de Macron et son groupe au Parlement européen.

It's impossible to earn a billion, but there are more billionaires every year. How? We talk w/ @theguardian.com's @josh-tou.bsky.social about "collected wealth" vs "earned wealth", how we tax them unequally & why #WealthTax protects our earner way of life #TaxTheSuperRich youtu.be/vPZRDt1kcV8?...

A billionaire not earning an annual return of 10% per year, is doing something wrong. Taxing their wealth at 2% would be equivalent to taxing 20% of that annual return, a level that is common throughout the world- said @josephestiglitz.bsky.social to @lemonde.fr. Read: t.co/dyXakhZIRc

We’re in Paris at @icrict.bsky.social’s conversation on Taxation, inequality and democracy in Latin America with Magdalena Sepúlveda, José Antonio Ocampo, Ricardo Martner and Martín Guzmán #TaxThePower

At the annual meeting of the @icrict.bsky.social (Independent Commission on the Reform of International Corporate Taxation) at the Paris School of Economics, we have just witnessed a passionate plea by Thomas Piketty for a new European independence - built on global tax justice.

Both within countries and internationally, the rule of law is being trampled, leading to rampant corruption, violations of basic human rights and due process, and systematic erosion of institutions. But there is hope. @projectsyndicate.bsky.social

@jayatighosh.bsky.social at @assembleenationale.bsky.social: All major opposition parties in India now back a wealth tax. Why? Because even a modest levy on <1,000 families could finance double the country’s health budget. Listen. ⤵️ #TaxThePower
