Shine the LightMultinational tax avoidance and tax dodging affects all countries including Australia. The Shine the Light campaign is particularly concerned with the affects of Tax dodging on poorer countries. Tax evasion is a complex issue and the 'Shine a Light' campaign focuses on only two main aspects; aggressive transfer mis-pricing; and false invoicing. The Micah challenge website contains a wide range of resources on the topic, including: simulation games and a guide for contacting local MP's.
