If you know what you're doing, evading tax using offshore tax havens is fairly simple:
- John owns a carpet making company, Dallas Carpets
- He incorporates a shell company in the Cayman Islands, BS Ltd.
- BS Ltd. opens a bank account in Switzerland
- Dallas Carpets purchases 'services' (such as 'consultancy' or 'administrative services') from BS Ltd. & transfers the payment to Switzerland
- BS Ltd. invests the funds in assets (bonds, equities, mutual funds, etc.)
- Dallas Carpet’s costs increase, corporation tax decreases & BS Ltd. has tax-free financial capital income in the Swiss account.
Except for more coordinated reporting standards between the likes of the Cayman Islands & BVI and the US & UK, how on Earth can we tackle this?
Autem sed quis nihil veritatis qui. Expedita nostrum repellendus consequatur earum minus similique eos eligendi. Libero consequatur quidem et a. Reiciendis quaerat laboriosam enim laborum fugit harum amet.
