2025 will be a great year to take back #tax sovereignty! Starting wth economic liberation thru source taxation, breaking refundable tax credits loophole (dodging on agreed METR thru investment credits) & ending modern economic extraction by asserting WHT on cross border services
“Tax has to support and respond to our #development. We’ve got to see #tax as a public good. We’ve got to be able to create this framing that if we want to fight against inequality (reduce the gap between income and wealth inequality), tax is the way forward.” -Dr. @LylaALatif
