CEOs See Need For Urgent Tax Reform

We have just launched the result of a new survey in a paper, 'Tax strategy and corporate reputation: Balancing trust and growth', which shows that about two-thirds of CEOs around the world say the international tax system is in urgent need of reform and 70% say the impact of tax on their company's growth is among their top concerns.

The paper analyses CEO attitudes towards tax policy issues and offers companies an approach for creating coherent tax strategy. The paper finds that tax strategy and policies are best dealt with by the Board of Directors and should include consideration of such issues as impact on stakeholders, transparency, governance and controls and communications.
