| Abstract: | The problem of tax compliance and tax evasion continually results in a plethora of impediments for tax regulators in South Africa and globally. An alarming number of corporate governance scandals always have an element of tax compliance issues in them. The state of unresolved SARS Audit cases, costly litigations and prolonged arbitration from the tax Ombudsman is an issue of concern and subject of this study. This is further exacerbated by technicalities emanating from legal perspectives, statutory dimensions, and regulatory frameworks. It is for this reason that this seeks to answer the question “What is the role of a tax legal specialist within SARS during initiation of tax audits?” A comprehensive literature analysis, hinged upon mapping review, which is a typology of systematic methodology was conducted to respond to the above-mentioned research question. Mapping reviews are useful when researchers seek to understand literature on a particular phenomenon which might provide a basis for further investigation. The inclusion/exclusion criteria required articles to be between 2014 and 2020 and were supposed to be focused on tax evasion, tax avoidance and current means to combat these classified fraud activities. This resulted in 10 studies included as part of the review. Analysis followed thematic approaches using the COSTA QDA Technique on webQDA cloud-computing software. The study found out that effectiveness and efficiency tax audits was handicapped by lack of competent tax legal audit specialist. |

| Abstract: | Banking supervision and regulation by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) remain strong. This assessment confirms the 2014 Basel Core Principles assessment that the HKMA achieves a high level of compliance with the BCPs. The Basel III framework (and related guidance) and domestic and cross-border cooperation arrangements are firmly in place. The HKMA actively contributes to the development and implementation of relevant international standards. Updating their risk based supervisory approach helped the HKMA optimize supervisory resources. The HKMA’s highly experienced supervisory staff is a key driver to achieving one of the most sophisticated levels of supervision and regulation observed in Asia and beyond. |

| Abstract: | This article uses the main tools of cooperative game theory, the core of a game and the Shapley value, to tackle the challenge posed by corporate tax harmonization in order to fight profit shifting. More specifically, these tools are applied to provide a counterfactual evaluation and to assess the credibility of Saez and Zucman (2019) proposal to establish a minimum rate at 25% at the G7/G20 level. Based on the empirical data of Tørsløv et al. (2020), our main results are the following. First, at the G7 level, the more countries involved in the agreement, the more efficient it would be. Second, stability of cooperation at the G7 level can be achieved without giving up fairness consideration in the distribution of the surplus. We then extend our application to the G20 and show that these results do not hold anymore. Third, from this case, we conclude that not only the target rate matters in the perspective of international tax cooperation, but also the numbers of participants and their current effective rates. |
