CATCHING TAX-DODGERS
AN INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT An international committee which is considering tax evasion met at Somerset House, Strand, London. Sir Percy Thompson, deputy chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, was the British representative, and Italy, Switberland, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Japan, United States, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Argentine were represented. It is understood that the question of domicile, by means of which many taxdodgers succeed in escaping all, or a great proportion, of the taxes due from them, was under special consideration. The committee inclined to the view that the most effective method of catching these tax-evaders was for the revenue authorities of all countries to act on a reciprocal basis, by supplying information required for tax assessment about any persons who may be in any other country for part of a year in the hope of escaping taxation imposed by their own nation. A scheme is also being discussed by which a country would recover within its own territory, in accordance with its own law, taxes due in another country.
