Published: April 8, 2022, 4:35 a.m.

During an interview it is often like in golf – in the first 10-15 minutes it is possible to understand quite clearly if you have a connection or don’t. With Allison, a tax law professor who is named one of the “Global Tax 50” most influential individuals in international taxation, it was easy and fun to discuss such topics like:

  • Social media[1];
  • Her drawings on RedBubble[2];
  • Movies containing tax aspects[3];
  • A tax story Allison would like to make as a cartoon;
  • Why did Allison move from law firms to academia and how to keep hands on the business practice at the same time;
  • Break Into Tax YouTube channel[4];
  • Her new book - Tax Cooperation in an Unjust World that you can buy here[5] and here is a summary of the book main ideas[6] - on an equal division of the benefits between the countries involved, so the majority of the benefits doesn’t just go to the rich countries;
  • On ideas how the tax world can help Ukraine, on UBOs of properties and Pillar2, tax on speculative foreign ownership, AML checks for the Golden visa source money.
