Ive started reading Treasure Islands: Tax Havens


and the Men who Stole the World byNicholas

[All blog posts]

Shaxson. This continues an interest developed


through an FTI members analysis of Switzerland
as a tax haven.

I intend to sporadically make notes on this topic


till I understand it properly. This post will evolve
and grow. Please send me your thoughts/ links in
the comments section.
What is a tax haven?
From Nicholas Shaxson:

It is a place that seeks to attract


money by offering politically stable
facilities to help people or entities
get around the rules, laws, and
regulations of jurisdictions
elsewhere.
A number of features help us spot
tax havens.
First, all tax havens offer secrecy, in
various forms.
Another common marker for tax
havens is very low or zero taxes.

People and corporations use them to


escape tax, legally or illegally.
Secrecy jurisdictions also have very
large financial services industries in
comparison to the size of the local
economy.
Tax havens usually deny what they
are and strenuously assert that they
are clean.

Breaking Free of
Nehru

But there is one feature of a secrecy


jurisdiction that stands out above
all: that local politics is captured by
financial interests from elsewhere
(sometimes these financial interests
are criminal interests). Meaningful
opposition to the offshore business
model will have been neutered in a
serious tax haven, so that such
irritants as local politics cannot
interrupt the business of making
money. These zones of ultra-freedom
for financial interests are so often
repressive places, viciously
intolerant of criticism.
It is, at heart, about artificially
manipulating paper trails of money
across borders.

Tax evasion is closely related to


money laundering . [T]ax evasion
is a natural byproduct of crime, and
so criminals are near-automatic tax
evaders. Martin A. Sullivan
Drug traffickers are also money
launderers and tax evaders. Its in
their job description. You cant
really declare a few million pesos of
unexplained income on your tax
return and list drug lord as your
occupation. Besides, the moral
threshold thats crossed by
falsifying tax returns is nothing for
people who regularly bribe police,
kidnap judges, and slit the throats
of informants. Robert Goulder
Distinguishing tax shelters from
real transactions is often a
frustrating exercise because tax
shelters are usually designed to
mimic real transactions. In this
respect, tax shelters and real
transactions have a relationship
analogous to the relationship
between money laundering and
banking. In both areas, rules
designed to curb the abusive
activity are a source of complexity
in nonabusive cases. Peter C.

The argument that if everyone

residence without actually moving.
Ronen Palan
Tax evaders under-report the
earnings of their legal enterprises,
thereby paying less tax than they
legally should. Criminals, by
contrast, over-report the earnings of
any legal enterprises they use for
cover, therefore paying more tax
than their legitimate front
companies would normally be
required. United Nations Report
