Wealth taxes are high on the policy agenda – a key theme at this year’s #G20, and proposed as a solution to help countries find the USD 1 trillion annual financing needed to meet United Nations climate goals. To effectively enforce wealth taxes, governments need to get better at collecting and sharing data on where the super-rich hold their money. Our Deputy Executive Director Louise Russell-Prywata outlines some of the links between #BeneficialOwnership and tax abuse, and starts thinking about making beneficial ownership reforms work for tax in this new piece.

About us
Open Ownership is driving the global shift towards transparency and accountability in corporate ownership and control. Open Ownership enables beneficial ownership disclosures which are accurate, well-structured, complete and machine-readable. We support governments to make high-quality beneficial ownership data available, and work with governments, businesses and citizens to use it. This reduces risks such as corruption and tax evasion, and builds trust and development opportunities. To achieve this we focus on three interconnected priorities: • Technical assistance to implement beneficial ownership transparency • Technology and capacity to use beneficial ownership data • Research and global policy influencing

"While the path to #BeneficialOwnership #transparency is complex, it's also essential for building trust, combating corruption and ensuring fairness in our economies. Surely with the right tools, such as the resources we launched, the right collaboration and commitment, we can turn challenges into opportunities and create lasting reforms and benefit for everyone. Let's take what we've learnt here today and continue driving forward the #transparency and #accountability that our societies deserve." - Favour Ime speaking at our International Anti-Corruption Day event organised with EITI (Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) and National Democratic Institute (NDI).
