G7 Tax Deal

BBC World Service - Weekend, G7 Tax Deal

The world's richest nations on the cusp of common tax policy for multinational companies

The world's richest nations on the cusp of common tax policy for multinational companies.

Finance ministers from the G7 group of leading economies say they're confident of striking a deal in London today on taxing multinational companies. We hear from a free market economist. 

Also on the programme, as South Africa plans a total ban on smoking in public, we ask, can it be enforced?

Joining Paul Henley on the programme are Julia Buxton, a professor of criminology specialising in international drug policy at the University of Manchester and Sune Engel Rasmussen, a London-based correspondent for the Wall Street Journal newspaper.
