      Det er ikke til at tro, at skandalen om Danwatch bliver ved! Uanset om det er inkompetence eller bevidste fordrejninger, bør vi få den uvildige undersøgelse af Danwatch nu. Ulandsbistand skal ikke bruges til misinformation. @DanWatchDK #dkaid https://twitter.com/runeifu/status/939143660528168960 …

      https://danwatch.dk/undersoegelse/hvor-mange-penge-mister-vi-til-skattespekulation/ … UN High Level Panel on IFFs anslår “meget konservativt”, at Afrika snydes for mere end 300 milliarder kroner årligt i ulovlig skatteunddragelse. (HLP estimates $50bn annually in illegal tax evasion ?? ) No. It doesn't. @jesper_nymark

      HLP's estimate is not of 'illegal tax evasion' (its not a tax loss number at all)

      Ooohhh, true, much of the aggressive tax avoidance is not illegal in the sense that is has not been actually found illegal in the courts - yet. The result on the ground is the same - lost tax revenues

      No - that's not what the HLP was trying to estimate -- it was trying to estimate' illicit financial flows' -- their number is not directly a tax loss either to avoidance or evasion. Its an estimate of a gross capital flow

      Replying to @MForstater @CarterPaddy and

      Yes of course. Inspired by the GFI methodology it is gross IFF. It is not the estimate of tax loss - and I don't think the Danish text indicates that. The important issue is that we have huge amounts and only rough estimates. See also recent research by Zugman and colleagues

      Maybe its lost in translation but 'Afrika snydes for mere end 300 milliarder kroner årligt i ulovlig skatteunddragelse' = Africa is cheated of more than 50 bn dollars annually in illegal tax evasion ? Suggest @DanWatchDK think its a tax loss.

      The next bit says "the United Nations Organization for Trade sets the figure much higher" NB: this one is a tax loss figure (but for a different group of countries/not 'Africa') - suggests that they think the figure above is a tax loss?

      No, it is not stated clearly and can be interpreted wrong. I look forward to your continued endeavour into myths. Could I suggest e.g. into job creation from DFI finance and PS investments ?

      The page is stated clearly - its just wrong in multiple places. e.g. saying that the GFI $1 trillion estimate relates to Africa or that the $3bn figure comes from the Zambian government
