The Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation (ICRICT) welcomes the announcement by Colombia's Minister of Finance, and former ICRICT Chair, José Antonio Ocampo, to convene the first-ever Ministerial Tax Summit for the Latin American and Caribbean region in July 2023 in Cartagena (Colombia). Without coordination, it will not be possible to put an effective end to the abuse of tax havens or to curb tax evasion and avoidance. It’s time for Latin America and the Caribbean to work together to jointly build fairer taxation initiatives, a true fiscal pact.
