International seminar: How can we enhance prevention of tax fraud and tax evasion?
Today, 29 April 2013, the Ministry of Finance is hosting in cooperation with Parliament an international seminar on enhancing prevention of tax fraud and tax evasion as well as work against tax havens. The issue has been strongly highlighted recently, for example in the EU and in G20 meetings.

Attending the seminar from Finland will be members of Parliament and government figures as well as representatives of advocacy organisations, universities, businesses and non-governmental organisations.
