Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - Region: Middle and South America, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: (...) The present thesis seeks to contribute to substantial answers to this question. Its subject is a set of regulatory measures taken by the Argentinean Corporate Supervisory Board Inspección General de Justicia (IGJ) between 2003 and 2005. One of their alleged aims is to counteract offshore tax evasion through a ban of the aforementioned shell companies, an approach which is deemed to be unique and novel worldwide. The venture of the IGJ rests on the assumption that the bona fide-treatment of the latter's legal person is crucial for cross-border tax evasion. Designed as an explorative case study, the thesis' central interrogative is about the normative-judicial scope and the factual impact of IGJ's policy on offshore tax evasion. Much of the data underlying the answers given henceforth has been collected through a two-months field research in Buenos Aires. The structure of the thesis is as follows: The second chapter opens with a brief section of definitions of key terms used thereafter (2.1). Section two (2.2) seeks to clarify the practical relevance of the subject and to establish and engross its links to two theoretical debates. Thereby, the central question and two related hypothesis will be carved out (2.3). In the following section (2.4), the subject is circumscribed. Epistemological and broad methodological issues are addressed in section 2.5, sources and formal issues are presented in 2.6. The field research and interview methodology are subject of section 2.7. The third chapter is dealing mostly in a descriptive way with the legal context of the IGJ-norms (3.1), focuses on institutional and general administrative issues in relation to their implementation (3.2), presents the regulations in question chronologically (3.3) and eventually summarizes the mayor issues relevant for the subsequent analy

In the fourth chapter, the measures are subject to analysis with regard to a test of the first hypothesis presented in chapter two. The fifth chapter seeks to do the same for the second hypothesis, although the venture is far more complex and the results are more ambiguous. Some points of departure for further research are addressed. In the sixth chapter, an answer to the central question is provided, the results of the test of both hypotheses are summarized, conclusions are drawn and a more generic outlook is given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many microstates have an economic model that attracts global incorporations and/or finance, as plugging into the global economy is important for microstates that have small domestic economies. However, microstates often offer low business and corporation taxes or lax regulatory regimes to compete in the fiercely competitive global market, therefore criticised as offering havens, engaging in harmful tax competition and leading a race to the bottom. Although international efforts such as led by the OECD and FATF (Financial Action Task Force) have secured an extent of co-operation from such microstates, their position remains an uneasy one in the international legal order, as they engage in regulatory competition with onshore jurisdictions and with each other. Post global financial crisis 2007-9, a slew of aggressive extra-territorial legislation in the area of taxation and finance has been introduced by a number of powerful jurisdictions to bring a new onslaught onto microstates' economic models. This article argues that the US, EU and UK are leading such a move from the traditional multilateral approaches to governing microstates' role in regulatory competition to unilateral approaches that are more overtly antagonistic to microstates' economic models in offshore tax and finance. This article examines why such a move has occurred, and the confluence of driving factors for such a move. This article examines the key unilateral measures, ie the rise of automatic information reporting regimes such as the US FATCA, the more modest EU equivalent, the UK's new corporate reporting and tax enforcement regimes, and the EU's reforms in financial regulation. We also see an incremental trend in such unilateral strategies giving rise to more coordinated multilateral adoption of such strategies. Based on a consultancy project the author has led in 2015, we have gained first-hand insights into policy-making at a microstate which is facing the challenges described above. Microstates offering the old models of tax and financial services are at the cusp of change. However, they have little choice but to continue to try and thrive in global economic competition. We provide some reflections on microstates' continuing role in regulatory competition in the changing international legal order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Inequality Report 2018 is the most authoritative and up-to-date account of global trends in inequality. Researched, compiled, and written by a team of the world's leading economists of inequality, it presents--with unrivaled clarity and depth--information and analysis that will be vital to policy makers and scholars everywhere. Inequality has taken center stage in public debate as the wealthiest people in most parts of the world have seen their share of the economy soar relative to that of others, many of whom, especially in the West, have experienced stagnation. The resulting political and social pressures have posed harsh new challenges for governments and created a pressing demand for reliable data. The World Inequality Lab at the Paris School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley, has answered this call by coordinating research into the latest trends in the accumulation and distribution of income and wealth on every continent. This inaugural report analyzes the Lab's findings, which include data from major countries where information has traditionally been difficult to acquire, such as China, India, and Brazil. Among nations, inequality has been decreasing as traditionally poor countries' economies have caught up with the West. The report shows, however, that inequality has been steadily deepening within almost every nation, though national trajectories vary, suggesting the importance of institutional and policy frameworks in shaping inequality. World Inequality Report 2018 will be a key document for anyone concerned about one of the most imperative and contentious subjects in contemporary politics and economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich people stash away trillions of dollars in tax havens like Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, or Singapore. Multinational corporations shift their profits to low-tax jurisdictions like Ireland or Panama to avoid paying tax. Recent stories in the media about Apple, Google, Starbucks, and Fiat are just the tip of the iceberg. There is hardly any multinational today that respects not just the letter but also the spirit of tax laws. All this becomes possible due to tax competition, with countries strategically designing fiscal policy to attract capital from abroad. The loopholes in national tax regimes that tax competition generates and exploits draw into question political economic life as we presently know it. They undermine the fiscal autonomy of political communities and contribute to rising inequalities in income and wealth. Building on a careful analysis of the ethical challenges raised by a world of tax competition, this book puts forward a normative and institutional framework to regulate the practice. In short, individuals and corporations should pay tax in the jurisdictions of which they are members, where this membership can come in degrees. Moreover, the strategic tax setting of states should be limited in important ways. An International Tax Organisation (ITO) should be created to enforce the principles of tax justice. The author defends this call for reform against two important objections. First, Dietsch refutes the suggestion that regulating tax competition is inefficient. Second, he argues that regulation of this sort, rather than representing a constraint on national sovereignty, in fact turns out to be a requirement of sovereignty in a global economy. The book closes with a series of reflections on the obligations that the beneficiaries of tax competition have towards the losers both prior to any institutional reform as well as in its aftermath.

This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s runaway inequality has an engine: our unjust tax system. Even as they became fabulously wealthy, the ultra-rich have had their taxes collapse to levels last seen in the 1920s. Meanwhile, working-class Americans have been asked to pay more. The Triumph of Injustice presents a forensic investigation into this dramatic transformation, written by two economists who revolutionized the study of inequality. Eschewing anecdotes and case studies, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman offer a comprehensive view of America’s tax system, based on new statistics covering all taxes paid at all levels of government. Their conclusion? For the first time in more than a century, billionaires now pay lower tax rates than their secretaries. Blending history and cutting-edge economic analysis, and writing in lively and jargon-free prose, Saez and Zucman dissect the deliberate choices (and sins of indecision) that have brought us to today: the gradual exemption of capital owners; the surge of a new tax avoidance industry, and the spiral of tax competition among nations. With clarity and concision, they explain how America turned away from the most progressive tax system in history to embrace policies that only serve to compound the wealth of a few. But The Triumph of Injustice is much more than a laser-sharp analysis of one of the great political and intellectual failures of our time. Saez and Zucman propose a visionary, democratic, and practical reinvention of taxes, outlining reforms that can allow tax justice to triumph in today’s globalized world and democracy to prevail over concentrated wealth. A pioneering companion website allows anyone to evaluate proposals made by the authors, and to develop their own alternative tax reform at taxjusticenow.org.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed by world-systems analysis, this book examines the shifting patterns of accommodation and resistance to the offshore world, with a particular focus on Mauritius as a critical but underappreciated offshore node mediating foreign investment into India and Africa. Drawing on a large pool of financial data and elite interviews, the authors present the first detailed comparative study of the Mauritius–India and Mauritius–Africa offshore relationships. These relationships serve as indicative test cases of the contemporary global tax reform agenda and its promise to rein in offshore finance. Whereas India’s economic power and multilateral track record have enabled it to actively shape this agenda and implement it in a robust manner, most African countries have found themselves either unable to meet its stringent criteria or unwilling to do so out of fear that it might discourage investment. Its impact on offshore financial centers has likewise been limited. A few of the least sophisticated ones appear to have fallen by the wayside, but the rest have either remained largely unaffected, or, like Mauritius, succeeded in consolidating their operations and surviving the current round of regulatory headwinds. The findings suggest that the contemporary global tax reform agenda has thus far not only failed to make good on its promise but also actually reinforced numerous existing power hierarchies. The Uneven Offshore World is written in an accessible style and aimed at readers without specialized knowledge of tax issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the issues surrounding banking secrecy and confiscation of criminal proceeds. The book examines the existing legal agreements at the international, regional and national levels and their interaction in the substantive areas of confiscation, anti-money laundering and banking confidentiality laws. It looks at how these agreements have been applied in offshore financial centers and demonstrates that despite a number of legally binding UN Conventions as well as global anti-money laundering recommendations, the implementation of them is often lukewarm by those Parties who have ratified the Convention and adopted obligations, because of this the confiscation legislation is incompatible with strict banking confidentiality laws. The work draws on the experience of criminologists to offer critical insight into the legislative frameworks designed to deal with banking secrecy and confiscation in offshore financial centers. It goes on to offer suggestions for measures that may be taken by major economies to circumvent the lack of cooperation by offshore financial centers as intolerance towards money laundering grows in light of recent political and economic events. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Law, Finance and Criminology.

Book excerpt: Commercial banks UBS and HSBC embroiled in scandals that in some cases exposed lawmakers themselves as tax evaders… multinationals Google and Apple using the Double Irish and other tax avoidance strategies… governments granting fiscal sweetheart deals behind closed doors (as in Luxembourg)... the stream of news items documenting the crisis of global tax governance is not about to dry up. Much work has been done in individual disciplines on the phenomenon of tax competition that lies at the heart of this crisis. Yet, the combination of issues of democratic legitimacy, social justice, economic efficiency, and national sovereignty that tax competition raises clearly requires an interdisciplinary analysis. This book offers a rare example of this kind of work, bringing together experts from political science, philosophy, law, and economics whose contributions combine empirical analysis with normative and institutional proposals. It makes an important contribution to reforming international taxation.
