PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Developing Countries: Taxation (12 April 2016)

DFID has not made an estimate of the extent of tax evasion and avoidance in the global south due to a lack of reliable data.

The UK has been an international leader in efforts to tackle tax evasion and tax avoidance since the UK’s G8 Presidency in 2013. A key part of DFID’s work in this area is to ensure that developing countries can partake in and benefit from international initiatives to challenge tax avoidance and evasion.
