Tax and Human Rights
Speaker: Lisa Woods
12:30 – 1:30 PM, Tuesday 7 February 2023
Government Buildings Lecture Theatre 1 (GBLT 1) / Online
Pipitea Campus, Victoria University of Wellington

The critical link between taxation and human rights underlies Amnesty International's focus on taxation systems. Globally the organisation is in the process of developing a new policy that can help answer key questions such as how states can maximise available resources for enhancing human rights and what types of taxation models are most rights-compliant. This talk will explore some of the high-level principles we’re thinking about as we develop policy in this area and consider what human rights-compliant tax systems look like.
