The official communiqué from the G20 meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors that was held in Gyeongju, South Korea on October 22-23, 2010.

Christian Aid Scotland and the Church of Scotland launched this joint October 2010 report to raise awareness of the billions lost to developing countries from tax evasion and avoidance and to call on the International Accounting Standards Board to introduce an international country-by-country reporting standard.

This October 2010 report from the Trades Union Congress (TUC) highlights how UK banks will avoid paying £19 billion of tax on future profits by offsetting their losses during the financial crisis against their tax bills, and it advocates for an international country-by-country reporting standard for multinational corporations.

This research briefing on secrecy jurisdictions from Tax Research UK--endorsed by the Tax Justice Network and the Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development--is designed to briefly provide a clear insight into what secrecy jurisdictions are and what problems they cause.
