KPMG's Responsible Tax Program celebrates a decade of global impact and dialogue

The KPMG Global Responsible Tax Program marks its tenth anniversary this year. It began in the UK and has since grown into a worldwide initiative, bringing together voices from business, government, academia, and advocacy groups. A decade ago, the programme started as a UK-based effort to address tax legality, ethics, evasion, and avoidance. It also tackled transparency and competition between countries. After proving successful, it expanded globally, engaging participants from every region.

The initiative has hosted discussions with corporate leaders, policymakers, campaigners, and experts in fields like climate and AI. By quoting interviewees directly, it has captured the evolution of tax-related issues over the past ten years. Its goal has always been to provide a platform for stakeholders to explore complex tax matters and share insights. KPMG has reaffirmed its commitment to continuing these conversations in the programme’s next phase. Taxation remains a critical factor in daily life, shaping economies, societies, and individual households. The coming decade will likely introduce fresh challenges and opportunities in this ever-evolving field.
