The WU Global Tax Policy Center at the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law is pleased to invite you to the "Conference on Tax Transparency and Corruption" organized in in partnership with the World Bank and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

This 2-day conference (which will be held entirely in English) is hosted by  WU GTPC  and will take place in Vienna on July 4 - 6, 2023.

Location:  LC Building - Ceremonial Hall 1 at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU).

The four year program of the the Tax Transparency and Corruption (TT&C) Project (2019 – 2023) has focused on evaluating the interaction between tax transparency and corruption from the perspective of tax administrators, financial intelligence units (FIUs), policymakers, business, civil society and academics and involved three very closely related objectives:

1. Increasing the effectiveness of government actions to counter financial crimes through enhanced inter-agency cooperation.

2. Establishing a legal framework for cooperative compliance and the promotion of tax certainty through increased consultation with business.

3. Removing the barriers to exchange of information within and between countries and improving transparency in tax planning. This was to be achieved by engaging in efforts to enhance the collection and maintenance of accurate.

 

The objective of the July conference is to provide participants with the final outcomes and next steps. It is important to highlight that the key gains of the TT&C project will continue to be mined through the third stage of this project which provides an opportunity to address the need to combat IFFs and strengthen DRM through the lens of technology, trade and the role of civil society.
