[governance] The noose is closing on global Internet and other enabled tax dodging

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Movement of money is movement of money .. which can and will be tracked by tax authorities, and you notice that apple is taking at least some heat as are the big Indian outsourcing companies.

The taxes are not on the Internet but at a basic level deal with transfer pricing and related concepts.

Yes civil society should certainly coordinate their inputs .. But no it still isn't quite related to igov.
