Tax Avoidance

I have had several students come to me trying to find information on the issues concerning tax avoidance cases in the past three year.  So when I came across these articles from the Guardian I thought of you all and hope they might be of interest to you.

Prem Sikka is a professor at the University of Essex and regularly writes for the Guardian.  There are several posts by Professor Sikka on the topic of tax avoidance for you to look at.
