»Fast 10 % der weltweit erhobenen Unternehmenssteuereinnahmen geht in Steuerparadiesen verloren«
Global Tax Evasion Report 2024, EU Tax Observatory, 22.10.2023 (engl. Original)
A persistently large amount of profits is shifted to tax havens: $1 trillion in 2022. This is the equivalent of 35% of all the profits booked by multinational companies outside of their headquarter country. The corporate tax revenue losses caused by this shifting are significant, the equivalent of nearly 10% of corporate tax revenues collected globally. U.S. multinationals are responsible for about 40% of global profit shifting, and Continental European countries appear to be the most affected by this evasion.
