In Croatia tax data are not public for anyone. Officials do have to disclose
their property and income, but that is not tax data.

Same in Canada. And Italy, although apparently the Min. of Finance
released all of the tax records one year in a Rambo move towards
openness which cause a lot of furore, although I am not sure what
happened.

Hi Zahid,
In Bulgaria tax data of both citizens and officials (including
parliamentarians) are not public. Only data of income and assets of high
ranking officials are public, but tax data definitely not.
As far as I know, though I might be wrong, everywhere in Europe is the
same with the exception of Sweden and Norway (Denmark left that small
community on that matter few years ago). In Norway I heard there is
debate to stop this openness as well.
But let other countries speak about their situation themselves! I am also
curious to know whether there are new/other developments.
Best regards,
Alexander

Hi,
I wonder in how many countries tax data is regarded as public data? In
Pakistan, tax data is not regarded as public data. CPDI and CRIP jointly
carried out studied titled ‘Representation without Taxation’ which was
launched yesterday and which has been largely carried out by local and
international newspapers. It was also topic of different evening
television talk shows here. Following is the link of the story
