What is Tax Haven?
Tax Haven is a country offering satisfactory tax laws for international businesses and individuals. A country that has a low tax obligation compared to other countries or does not have any taxes at all. Some countries purposely regular themselves up as tax havens in order to inspire international corporations to register themselves there. Some countries that are not tax havens have ambiguities in their tax codes in order to allow certain persons and companies to place some of their assets in an account in a tax haven.
Tax Havens (sometimes entitled tax shelters, secrecy jurisdictions, international financial centers, or simply offshore) are the middles of a growing shadow economy of free global capital.
The Canada Revenue Agency has defined Tax Havens as jurisdictions with:
- No tax, or very low rates of taxation;
- Strict bank secrecy provisions;
- A lack of transparency
- A lack of effective exchange of information.
Tax Havens come in all shapes and sizes, from small, tropical Caribbean islands to old, titled European countries. They can even be cities or designated areas within countries too.
How Tax Havens Work?
In the last 10 years (and particularly since the global financial crisis) Tax Havens have appeared as a wildly popular destination for big banks, multinational corporations, the super wealthy and their militaries of lawyers and auditors. A recent study by James Henry of the Tax Justice Network estimates that $21 to $32 trillion is now invested in tax havens. This is equal to the combined annual output of the USA and Japan combined.
