T
ax officials from around the world are meeting in Paris to discuss the fallout from the mass leak of offshore account data from Panama firm Mossack Fonseca.
A statement says Wednesday's meeting of the Joint International Tax Shelter Information and Collaboration Network , an information- and intelligence-sharing organ for senior tax administrators based out of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, is being convened to "agree collaborative action in light of the 'Panama Papers' revelations."
The Panama disclosures have shaken the rich and powerful by exposing how they use networks of shell companies to dodge financial obligations, taking tax evasion to the top of international agenda.
Few further details about the Paris event's attendance or agenda were released. A spokesman said the meeting was closed to the media.
