An awful lot of tax evasion could be solved with just two things:
1. Clear beneficial ownership of any company; and
2. Taxing at source when the beneficial ownership isn't clear.
This particularly applies to real estate. Two of the biggest tax havens now are the US and the UK. The US requires all sorts of financial disclosures from other countries but doesn't reciprocate. The UK (London in particular) seems to exist solely to allow billionaires from sanctioned countries to launder money through real estate. Like that's the entire business model.
