If they are serious about preventing tax evasion and avoidance why don't these Tax Commissioners simply install an Annual Land Value Tax (LVT) in each jurisdiction?
LVT can not be escaped as land does not fit into a briefcase like cash and is impossible to hide like transfer payments from one country to another.
LVT would make our economies work more efficiently as the most desirable land is brought into use and taxes on trde and production are reduced.

Dear Mr. Wetzel
Tax Commissioners unite to fight tax fraud
17/05/2013 - Tax Commissioners from 45 countries gathered in Moscow on 16-17 July 2013 for the 8th meeting of the Forum on Tax Administration (FTA) where they committed to co-ordinated action to tackle transnational fraud, evasion and aggressive tax planning. In their final communiqué, they warned evaders that "however hard they try to hide, they will be found".
The FTA's latest reports are now available online:
