The World Cup 2022 and the dark side of Qatar:
In episdode #60 of Taxes Simply, we shed light on the subtleties of Qatar’s organisation of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and the impact on its tax system, in light of the voices calling for a boycott as a result of violations of the rights of migrant workers. We also look at the embezzlement scandal of 2.5 billion dollars from the Iraqi Tax Authority, the recent US grant to support the Jordanian budget, and the damage to Egypt’s car sales sector due to the depreciation of the Egyptian pound against the dollar.
