[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the June 2014 Taxcast: the guillotine v progressive tax?

Also: welcome to the temporary tax haven of World Cup Brazil; the EU Commission begins investigations into illegal state aid for tax havens; and are developing countries really not interested in tracking illicit outflows from their countries via transparency? Plus more scandal.
Produced by @Naomi_Fowler for the Tax Justice Network.
