Screenings

It is estimated that 600 billion dollars in tax is lost every year due to global tax abuse. Since the corona pandemic, the world's ten richest people have doubled their wealth and the income of 99 percent of humanity has fallen.

«Tax Wars» gives the public a unique insight and opportunity to follow key people in the fight to get the world's most powerful companies to pay their fair share of tax. With world-renowned experts such as Joseph Stiglitz, Thomas Piketty and Eva Joly, the film examines the limits of the international agreement on the taxation of multinationals from October 2021.
