Great to see @EU_Taxud recognising the links between #beneficialownership and taxing the super-rich. At @OpenOwnership we're seeing increasing opportunities to leverage BOT for effective taxation - my latest blog is on how BOT can support #wealthtaxes :

Speaking on #BeneficialOwnership #transparency reform in relation to #FinancingForDevelopment, @thomtownsend: We need stronger language that goes beyond simply "encouraging". This information NEEDS to be available, not just for tax purposes but for a whole range of other reasons.

Our Executive Director, @thomtownsend, live at this #FfD4 side event, highlighted that the elites who are stealing money in countries are moving it across borders to jurisdictions where it can be hidden, because the international financial system still has pockets of secrecy...

Our @CallMeFlayvour discusses #transparency reforms in #Africa on @AfricanBizMag: much progress has been made, but there’s more to do in Africa and beyond for company transparency rules to prevent corrupt actors from being able to hide ill-gotten money. ➡️ https://t.co/xw9jv4SOWm

Information is the key to taxing the rich. Automatic exchange of banking information, yes. And we must agree to create national and global registries of the beneficial owners of all assets, explained @Jayati1609 at the @IMFNews & @WorldBank meetings side event.

Pleasure to speak with the G20 anti-corruption working group this week on how beneficial ownership transparency supports the 🇧🇷 Presidency's theme of building a just world and sustainable planet. Thanks to the ACWG Chair @CGUonline for the invitation 🙏🏼
Yesterday @ #G20 #AntiCorruption Working Group, Open Ownership's @_LouiseRP spoke about the importance of #BeneficialOwnership #transparency. She shared 3 solutions that the evidence from our work shows would be relevant for the group 👇 Watch back: https://t.co/d70E2dMDuU

And lifting up the point that this tool takes a practical and Africa centric approach - using indicators that measure what's most relevant to IFFs on the continent, not just replicating global standards which may not be calibrated for African countries.

Fully agree w Dr Latif's point "Data is central to the fight against IFFs. What data is being collected? Is it being shared? It has to be interoperable."

Such a loss for the open government and right to information communities, and all who knew the phenomenal @helen_access 💔 thank you Helen, for inspiring so many of us & driving so much progress in the EU and beyond, always with such intellect, humour and humanity
Today Europe has lost a great European, not a stateswoman, but an activist whose impact will remain unmatched by most political leaders. Helen Darbishire has been one of the staunchest, most charismatic, and most effective civil society leaders in Europe, whose actions have been

Are we on the verge of another CJEU decision that will not only fail to fix a problem but create a bigger one? If the @EUCourtPress follows the Advocate General’s opinion, Golden Passport schemes could spread across the EU – giving the corrupt many options to gain EU citizenship
New legal opinion urges @EUCourtPress to dismiss the European Commission’s case against Malta’s #goldenpassports scheme. But judges should carefully weigh all arguments & consider the negative repercussions a ruling in Malta’s favour would have. +Info ➡️ https://t.co/DV3jISArZi
