The Tax Facts of Life

Business Daily

Available for over a year

We look at the surprisingly fascinating business of creating a tax system from scratch. The director of the UK's Office for Tax Simplification, John Whiting, tells us that complexity may be the price of fairness. Kryticous Nshindano from Actionaid in Zambia explains why there's no one-size-fits-all tax system, and we hear why collecting tax in India is a particularly thankless task.
