Taxes Simply# 10 – The war on anti-corruption campaigners and activists, and a new indicator for social progress in Egypt
We start with a summary of October’s tax news from around the Arab region and the world, including:
- The growing US budget deficit due to lower tax rates on corporate profits
- The Netherlands imposes a tax on profit transfers to five Gulf States to tackle tax avoidance
- Switzerland begins to share its tax data, but only with a selected number of rich and powerful countries
- Europe witnesses the largest tax fraud in its history…
In the second part of the programme, we talk with Mahinour El-Badrawi, the coordinator of Egypt Social Progress Index (ESPI), which is a project that seeks to present a multidimensional picture of Egypt’s social and economic well-being away from traditional economic indicators that ignore the experiences of tens of millions of those left behind.
