    The Pandora papers are the latest in a long line on P Papers that have supposedly unmasked the shady dealings of the global elite’s worldwide network of money laundering, tax evasion and corruption.
    You have no doubt seen the headlines, and if you are following the story closely you are likely thinking that nothing will really come of this.
    It’s been five years since the Panama Papers were released the world and since then they have been followed up by the paradise papers, as well as a series of smaller leaks ultimately confirming what everybody suspected was going on anyway.
    Now to an outside observer it is easy to be a bit disheartened by all of this news and simply resign yourself to the fact that these schemes will just happen forever and nothing will really be done to punish the perpetrators. This narrative would certainly be supported by the outlets publishing these stories too, because to be honest… outrage sells.
    But it’s not necessarily the case, and perhaps the best way to see this is to do what no stories on this issue have been willing to do, and that is to unpack how this creative international accounting actually functions.

      - Global Minimum Tax

      There the Irish Dutch sandwich comes in. The Dutch don't tax revenue from IP at all. So you create a Dutch company that owns the name for your company group and licence it to the other companies. For some reason the fee is such that the other companies don't have any profits. Curious that. There are also tricks with companies giving each other loans and paying surprisingly high (or low) interest.

      The 15% likely will not change anything. Corporations are not like us they have different expenses based on the type of business they are in so they are all taxed based off their net revenue rather than how we mere mortals are taxed. So lets say Panama charges 15% but allows the company to write off any and everything including expenses that aren't felt by shareholders ( like depreciation) so my evil holding corp pays 15% of zero.

      yes you have. This is the same concept as having "A SWISS BANK ACCOUNT" ten years ago, and 20 years ago "OOOHHHH you have an evil Cayman islands bank account" As bloodthirsty lawyers get more invasive and more litigious, the people with money will get more protective, and hide thier money better. The majority of the people with these trusts set up are hiding money from Lawyers, because lawyers consider it their job to take as much as they can.

    Quick note here on the coal mine in Brazil example. Brazil taxes the UBO - ultimate beneficial owner - meaning that no matter how many layers of companies or trusts you have, you must disclose the UBO to the tax authority and that natural person will have to pay taxes. That means you need reside somewhere else or else pay taxes here.
    That is very common in those schemes, because often countries tax the UBO, specially if they follow OCDE standards. The result is that you don't only choose carefully where your companies are, but you also have to choose carefully where to reside so you don't get taxed as UBO

      @M4551kt 7 місяців тому +1

      It isn't as much about as profit levels, as, for example, it is normal for startups to already incorporate an offshore structure from the get-go. Depending on your sector's regulation and local tax rates, you can easily calculate if offshoring is the way to go.
      To provide you some ballpark numbers: it is fair to say that the setup price ranges from 15k in a cheap jurisdiction (Panama, BVI) and non-compliance with economic substance laws, or up to 80k (USD), in case you do comply and incorporate in an expensive country (Switzerland, Luxembourg). The yearly cost to maintain, I would estimate between 5k - 40k, following the same logic.
      For wealthy individuals and wealth management, I have no idea as I never worked with it, but incorporation prices should be the same

    This was interesting. I used to work in Insolvency in Australia. To add something regarding the holding company and operating company side to the structure, there is legislation in Australia that holds a parent company responsible for losses to creditors of a subsidiary if the subsidiary is deemed to have traded whilst insolvent. This highlights the importance of putting the holding company outside of Australia where the trading entity is operating. You have to be careful where the holding company is registered because several “stable” countries with sophisticated and similarly oriented legal systems have begun harmonising insolvency operations allowing a liquidator from country to recover assets from participating countries.

      This structure obviously doesn't protect from going to jail for being rich. It's a protection from liability and taxes, so they don't have to pay their share to maintain the society they rely on, and don't bear the consequences of their actions.
      The goal is power without responsibility or accountability. We can just go back to ruling nobles by divine mandate at that point.

    I still cant decide wether a global minimum tax is good to stop tax evation for the corrupt super rich, or just a step closer to a World government that will lead to bigger corrupt super rich enteties..
    But thanks for the good Video.

      Already do: "Gifts"
      I forget the details, but pretty much they have someone that holds all their companies and other such things while they are in office.. and when they get out of office they get what ever those assets + newly acquired assets back under their control.
      This was setup organically to make it so someone couldn't enrich their own company while in office.... but these days it is an easy way to fool the easily fooled since the "gifts" are given to their asset manager instead of directly to the person in office.

      Of course it is not good, since it stops governments from competing against each other. It's literally a tax cartel that will result in absolute corruption.

      I am 100% sure of the latter. If anything it can even benefit the super riches.

    Getting sued. Yeah about that. Try making business in Germany or Switzerland. Bureaucracy will kill you, but at least if you are sued, the judge will go “Here’s 1000 bucks in damages, now get out of my court room” xD

      Well, I had a business in Germany. Had to fight with finance authorities for 5 years until I got money back from them that they took unjustified. Now I live in Cyprus, pay only very little tax, sun and beach every day and they can go and F.... themselves. Everyone who earns money online and stays in Germany is an idiot, honestly. Also no one sues you in Cyprus because it takes like 4-5 years for people to get a court date, haha. They have to be really serious about it, to take that chance. :)
