I haven't looked at the spreadsheets but in general I am a fan of this approach to estimating BEPS tax losses (similar to UNCTAD's 2015 WIR paper). Because it starts with FDI. Which is what we are talking about in the real world - taxing returns of foreign investment.https://twitter.com/miropalansky/status/1184435460275355650 …

It's a good paper. Gives a good review of other estimates & clear on its method. NB estimate is in the OECD 's range (smaller than much quoted IMF study). At 0.25% of GDP it's big enough to make a difference if yr job is collecting CIT but not so noticeable 4 public services

A word of caution in interpreting the headline findings . As with TWZ it finds 37% of what it calls "global MNE profits" shifted. This means foreign profits. Eg Apple outside US, Seimens outside Germany

@ConversationUK article https://theconversation.com/amp/how-multinationals-continue-to-avoid-paying-hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars-in-tax-new-research-124323#click=https://t.co/tTxOfK5mwE … These numbers similar to OECDs are not a smack down case for unitary taxation (otherwise the OECD would have already gone down that route...) & the jeans transfer pricing example is more like misinvoicing
