• Present the key findings of the Public Trust in Tax 2024 survey;
• Explore the correlations between characteristics and attitudes towards tax issues;
• Foster dialogue among policymakers, tax authorities, academics, International Organizations, and the accountancy profession to promote evidence-based reforms in taxation and trust-building initiatives globally.
