J5 tax chiefs ‘day of action’ and subsequent ‘joint communique’ about closing the net on global tax evasion

On 19 Feb 2020, the ATO uploaded a post saying that leaders from five international tax organisations (J5) have come together in Sydney, Australia this week (17-21 February) to review the J5’s progress, in their fight against transnational tax crime and set priorities for the year ahead. This was like a joint ‘communique’ achieving some global ‘sabre rattling’. And prior to that (on 24.1.20) the ATO uploaded a post about the J5’s first day of (coordinated) real action.
