Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation For Immediate Release Center for Freedom and Prosperity Co-Hosts Washington, DC (Monday, October 17, 2005) – Today, the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) announced a Tax Competition Conference to be held in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, November 14th, at 3:00 p.m. at the Langham Hotel. Co-hosted by Australia's Centre for Independent Studies and the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, the conference will focus on the virtues of tax competition and explore the adverse consequences of tax harmonization. The Conference deliberately precedes the OECD's Global Forum on International Tax Policy that starts the next day. The Conference is designed to promote discussion and understanding about tax competition issues -- particularly the OECD's persecution of low-tax jurisdictions and the negative impact of tax harmonization on the global economy. The event will also give non-OECD policy makers useful information as they prepare to meet with the OECD. The Conference is bringing together leading international tax experts from the United States and Australia to discuss how best to preserve tax competition, financial privacy, and fiscal sovereignty. An OECD representative has been invited to participate in the event. The OECD will convene their Global Forum in Melbourne (November 15 & 16) in part to convince targeted non-OECD jurisdictions that there is a "level playing field" between them and the 30 OECD countries, notwithstanding the fact that numerous OECD member nations do not share information with foreign tax authorities. This is the sixth conference
that CF&P has held to coincide with an OECD Global Tax Forum. Previous conferences have been held in Barbados, London, Paris, Ottawa and Berlin. CF&P's Tax Competition Conference Event: Tax Competition: The Adverse Impact of Harmonization Date: Monday, November 14, 2005 Location: Alto Room, Langham Hotel Time: 3.00 for 3.30 p.m. start to 6 p.m. (reception to follow) RSVP: For further details or to register your interest please email _________________________ Conference Speakers Dr. Dan Mitchell Mr. Andrew Quinlan Dr. Richard Rahn Mr. Sinclair Davidson Prof. Terry Dwyer Dr. Alex Robson
