Should multinational national tax avoidance be considered under "illicit financial flows" #IFFs? @SolPicciotto argues Yes http://www.ictd.ac/blog/why-tax-avoidance-is-illicit/ … . I don't think so http://www.ictd.ac/blog/why-illicit-financial-flows-and-multinational-tax-avoidance-are-not-the-same-thing … @ICTDTax
Three reasons: (1) When people, orgs, laws talk about 'Illicit Finance' they are almost always talking about dirty money, and when they talk about tax avoidance/BEPS they don't say "illicit" (apart from when confused about trade misinvoicing https://www.cgdev.org/blog/pinning-down-illicit-financial-flows-why-definitions-matter …)
(2) The kinds of behaviours that fall under IFFs: money laundering, tax fraud, bribery, corruption and smuggling are not the same kind of thing as controversies over Google, Amazon, Starbucks tax or ordinary transfer pricing audits. Different problems need different solutionspic.twitter.com/xRRFgUXfGY
(3) Identifying & stopping dirty money depends on better cooperation between law enforcement & intermediaries - lawyers, accountants, banks etc... A definition of IFFs which paints legally compliant biz the same as handling bribes, proceeds of corruption etc.. does not help here
V good analysis of key issues. Attempt to widen IFF defn describes illicit on basis of some txs being potentially"unlawful" - but true in theory for all txs. Or conflating offshore avoidance and money laundering - both use same banking structures/jurisdictions so are the same.
