About Tax Justice

Taxes are essential for states, especially those with lower
incomes, to generate revenue, finance expenditures, and
redistribute wealth within and between states. They are probably
one of the most important means of creating a more equal and just
society. For a long time, civil society networks, such as Tax
Justice Europe, have therefore promoted fair, transparent, and
progressive tax systems, at the national and the international
level. Sybille Straubinger talks with Tove Ryding, the Policy and
Advocacy Manager for Tax Justice at the European Network on Debt
and Development (EURODAD) and Martina Neuwirth (project officer and
tax expert at the VIDC) about what has been achieved so far, what
is still needed for more tax justice, and what the EU and Austria
could do.
