There is an increasing focus on tax integrity, sometimes referred to as ‘fair taxation’. This has largely been driven by the publication of the so-called Panama Papers in 2015 and the public discourse that followed. But what does tax integrity or fair tax behaviour mean? And who decides what is fair? The legislator, the media, the regulator, the politician, the citizen, the company you work for or you? And what does fair taxation mean in terms of customer service? This e-learning provides the answers to all these questions.
