BRAZIL’S finance minister told a G20 meeting in Sao Paulo on Thursday that countries should implement a global tax on the super-rich in an effort to tackle rampant tax evasion.

Speaking to a meeting of finance ministers, Fernando Haddad said that tax evasion could be resolved through international co-operation so that “these few individuals make their contribution to our societies and to the planet’s sustainable development.”

He said that Brazil is pushing for a declaration on international taxation by G20 members that he hopes would be ready in July.
