In the seventh issue of الجباية ببساطة (Taxes Simply) we start with a summary of July’s tax news from around the Arab region and the world. Plus:
- Is the US really tax transparent? ِIn the second section of this edition, Walid Ben Rhouma discusses with Osama Diab why the United States of America has been classified as “largely compliant” by the OECD’s Global Forum for Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes despite being ranked number two in the Tax Justice Network’s Financial Secrecy Index.
- And what’s the relationship between debt and human rights? Walid Ben Rhouma interviews Omar Ghannam, a researcher at the Social Justice Platform, on the relationship between debt and economic reform programmes on the one hand, and human rights on the other.
