Why is Oxfam calling for a World Tax Summit?

Making tax fair is one of the issues most in need of global action if we're to tackle the problem of inequality...When corporations pay less tax, their profits increase, and these profits end up overwhelmingly in the pockets of the top 10% and 1% of richest people. At the same time, when companies don't pay their taxes, it is left to us, citizens and small businesses to fill the gaps. But corporate tax could be part of the solution to reduce inequality. Governments could raise revenues and invest them in the very services, such as health and education, which are vital to reducing inequality and fighting poverty...When tax rules are unfair, ordinary people in countries rich and poor alike lose out. But its people in the poorest countries which are hit the hardest. That's why it's so vital for developing countries to have an equal say in global tax reform. And that's why Oxfam will be campaigning with allies across the world to make tax fair...
