This event is organized in the context of the First Global Conference of the Platform for Collaboration on Tax, which is focused on \u00abTaxation and the Sustainable Development Goals\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tax is a gendered issue and matters for women\u2019s rights and for achieving the SDGs, not least Goals 5 and 10. Without adequate, equitable and accountable mobilization of resources through tax, the 2030 Agenda and the promise to \u2018Leave No One Behind\u2019 will not be met. Gender equality experts and policy analysts will outline how the tax and related fiscal systems of both developing and developed countries discriminate against women and represent a barrier to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Unfair tax systems threaten the realization of women\u2019s human rights and contribute to increasing levels of gendered socio-economic inequality\u2014exacerbated by the global trend towards fiscal austerity. Presentations include details on the multiple negative gendered impacts of VAT and other forms of consumption taxation, differential tax treatment of labour and capital incomes, business tax regimes, transnational corporate tax avoidance and tax havens.<\/b><\/p>\n\n
