ISTANBUL, July 27 – The G20 said Friday that the group agreed on working to make sure super-rich individuals around the world are effectively taxed, but stopped short on elaborating on methods, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
The group said it is important for all taxpayers, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals, to contribute their fair share in taxes.
“Aggressive tax avoidance or tax evasion of ultra-high-net-worth individuals can undermine the fairness of tax systems, which comes along with a reduced effectiveness of progressive taxation,” according to a G20 Ministerial Declaration on International Tax Cooperation.
“No one should be able to evade taxation, including by circumventing transparency standards. Therefore, greater efforts should be made to ensure full compliance with domestic tax obligations,” it added.
Despite the consensus on taxing the super-rich, mechanisms of achieving the goal remain vague.
