Our former intern Nanumi Starke untangles the taxing debate on multinational tax avoidance in this episode of the Monsoon Podcast.
How could paying little to no tax on billions of dollars in profit possibly be legal?
Globalisation has brought the world closer, but it has also ushered in an era of highly imaginative tax avoidance. How does it work, what can Australia do, and just what do million-dollar pencils have to do with it?
On this Monsoon Podcast, Nanumi Starke wades into the murky world of tax with three experts in the field, demystifying the lingo on the way.
