Other pages our readers particularly loved in 2025

Our frequently asked question continued to be a go-to resource throughout the year, with the top spots being taken by “what is transfer pricing”, “Is tax avoidance legal? How is it different from tax evasion?”, “what is profit shifting”, “Where are tax havens located?” and “Is taxation theft?”.

Country profiles also proved popular this year, with Switzerland topping our most viewed, followed by Indonesia. The United Kingdom remained in third place, while Norway moved up to fourth. The United States rounded out the top five holding on to is fifth place position.

Several of our cornerstone topics also attracted strong engagement.

In the areas of human rights and advocacy, our work linking tax justice and climate justice, Reclaiming tax sovereignty to transform global climate finance generated high levels of engagement and helped drive momentum ahead of COP30. This momentum continued with a co-organised event, ‘A climate for change: Towards just taxation for climate finance’, held during the negotiations toward a UN tax convention.

Alongside this, our work on tax and gender also drew considerable interest, particularly with the release of Bled dry: The gendered impact of tax abuse, illicit financial flows and debt in Africa.

Lastly, our work on beneficial ownership transparency received strong readership, led by our report Asset beneficial ownership – Enforcing wealth tax & other positive spillover effects.

Happy reading, from all of us at the Tax Justice Network!
