Taxes are essential for states, especially those with lower incomes, to generate revenue, finance expenditures, and redistribute wealth within and between states. They are probably one of the most important means of creating a more equal and just society. For a long time, civil society networks, such as Tax Justice Europe, have therefore promoted fair, transparent, and progressive tax systems, at the national and the international level.

Sybille Straubinger talks with Tove Ryding, the Policy and Advocacy Manager for Tax Justice at the European Network on Debt and Development (EURODAD) and Martina Neuwirth (project officer and tax expert at the VIDC) about what has been achieved so far, what is still needed for more tax justice, and what the EU and Austria could do.
