Denmark and Poland are right to exclude corporations registered in tax havens from getting bailouts – economies cannot be rebuilt on top of a tax haven trapdoor. But to tackle corporate tax abuse at its root instead of symptoms, govt's must shift to a unitary tax approach. https://twitter.com/Ian_Fraser/status/1252522251498422272
$500 billion in corporate tax is lost every year to multinational corporations abusing the law to pay less than they owe in tax. That’s 250 times greater than the UN’s appeal for a $2 billion fund to tackle coronavirus in the world’s poorest countries, which has yet to be met.
Shifting to a unitary tax approach means making corporations pay tax based on where their employees do real work, and not where their accountants hide their profits. Tax revenues must arise where the real activity is – just as health needs do.
Denmark & Poland are right to exclude corporations registered in tax havens from bailouts BUT they're using the weak EU tax haven list instead of using our objectively verifiable list https://corporatetaxhavenindex.org/  Plus, which multinationals are actually headquartered in tax havens?!!
