and regulations and sounds of tax avoidance. break ok katie it's it's a complicated issue when you talk about tax because there's three elements there's the legal aspect what's the law of the tax administration at aspect how do they collect taxes and then the political aspect what the communique from the g eight spoke to is they do believe there should be changes in the law to allow governments to be able to better figure out how to collect taxes cross border and that's a joint effort with the o.e.c.d. and that's positive that they're working together because you can't solve it individually on the tax administration side they're talking about much more transparency where companies have to provide more information to governments with regard to where they are in their money so that they can figure out how to collect taxes the political side is still out there that's where governments want to reduce the taxes they are around the world to try and attract business and labor yet meet their financial goals created by the meltdown and raise more through enforcement
