Leading economists welcome new Honduran tax justice law
AN OPEN letter from 85 leading global economists on Wednesday endorsed a proposed tax justice law in Honduras.
In a letter co-ordinated by Progressive International, the economists argue that the Honduran government’s proposed reforms would be “critical for reducing inequality in Honduras, supporting social and economic development and closing pervasive tax loopholes that undermine tax revenues.”
The letter is published as the Tax Justice Law will be debated in the Honduran Congress’s plenary session in coming days, following a successful passage through a special commission.
