"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3200364\" data-originallang=\"en\">I suggest two simple solutions would work. First, we must have automatic information exchange of data on who has an interest in a bank account in a tax haven. We don't even need to know the income earned, just that someone has an interest in a bank, in a bank account, or some other structure in a tax haven. That's the smoking gun that will let your tax authority pursue the tax evader.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3200365\" data-originallang=\"en\">Second, we must have mandatory disclosure of the ownership of all companies and trusts on public record worldwide, in developed countries, in developing countries, and in tax havens. That's the minimum price of using these structures. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3200366\" data-originallang=\"en\">Do those two things and you will not solve all tax evasion, I readily admit, but I guarantee you will substantially increase your tax yield, and if that's what you want to do, I strongly recommend those two courses of action.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3200364\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je propose deux solutions simples. Premi\u00e8rement, nous devons disposer d'un syst\u00e8me automatique d'\u00e9change de donn\u00e9es sur les personnes qui ont un int\u00e9r\u00eat dans un compte bancaire dans un paradis fiscal. Il n'est m\u00eame pas n\u00e9cessaire de conna\u00eetre le montant du revenu, simplement de savoir qu'une personne a un int\u00e9r\u00eat dans une banque, dans un compte bancaire, ou dans une autre structure quelconque dans un paradis fiscal. C'est l'indice principal qui permettra aux autorit\u00e9s fiscales de poursuivre ceux qui se livrent \u00e0 de l'\u00e9vasion fiscale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3200365\" data-originallang=\"en\">Deuxi\u00e8mement, il faut exiger la divulgation obligatoire de la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 de toutes les entreprises et les fiducies du monde entier, dans les pays industrialis\u00e9s, dans les pays en d\u00e9veloppement et dans les paradis fiscaux. C'est le prix minimum \u00e0 payer pour utiliser de ces structures.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3200366\" data-originallang=\"en\">Adopter ces deux solutions ne r\u00e9soudra pas tous les cas d'\u00e9vasion fiscale, je l'admets volontiers, mais je peux vous garantir que la collecte d'imp\u00f4t augmentera consid\u00e9rablement, et si c'est l'objectif que vous souhaitez atteindre, je vous recommande fortement ces deux mesures.</p>"
