In Tax, Inequality, and Human Rights, experts in human rights law
and in tax law debate the linkages between the two fields and
highlight how each can help to tackle rapidly growing inequality in
the economic, social, and political realms. Against a backdrop of
systemic corporate tax avoidance, widespread use of tax havens,
persistent pressures to embrace austerity policies, and growing
gaps between the rich and poor, this book encourages readers to
understand fiscal policy as human rights policy, and thus as having
profound consequences for the well-being of citizens around the
world. Prominent scholars and practitioners examine how the
foundational principles of tax law and human rights law intersect
and diverge; discuss the cross-border nature and human rights
impacts of abusive practices like tax avoidance and evasion;
question the reluctance of states to bring transparency and
accountability to tax policies and practices; highlight the
responsibility of private sector actors for shaping and misshaping
tax laws; and critically evaluate domestic tax rules through the
lens of equality and nondiscrimination. The contributing authors
also explore how international human rights obligations should
influence the framework for both domestic and international tax
reforms. They address what human rights law requires of state tax
policies and how tax laws and loopholes affect the enjoyment of
human rights by people outside a state's borders. Because tax and
human rights both turn on the relationship between the individual
and the state, neo-liberalism's erosion of the social contract
threatens to undermine them both.
