Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to help developing countries to tackle tax avoidance and evasion.

Answered by Justine Greening

The UK put tax and development at the heart of our G8 presidency in 2013. We are working with our international partners to provide expert assistance to developing countries to tackle tax evasion and avoidance. At the Autumn Statement the Government announced an additional £5 million for HMRC for dedicated tax expertise to help developing countries tackle tax avoidance and evasion.
