  • G8 leaders at Enniskilen golf course, Northern Ireland.  The tax deal proposed by the G8 is a step in the right direction for tackling hunger.<br />
It means that more tax authorities will be able to find out who owns so-called phantom firms (companies which operate as a front for other organisations as a way to siphon cash through tax havens) and crack down on tax dodging. However, poor countries haven't been included in this deal, so authorities in the developing world won't be able to access this information to claim back tax owed to them - funds which could have been spent dealing with hunger and malnutrition. This is disappointing, but transparency and tax avoidance have been forced onto the agenda by public opinion.
