Introduction
Tax havens have long been a topic of interest and controversy in the field of economics and finance. These jurisdictions, known for their low or non-existent tax rates and strict financial secrecy laws, have become popular destinations for multinational corporations looking to minimize their tax liabilities. One of the key strategies used by corporations in tax havens is profit shifting, where they artificially move profits from high-tax jurisdictions to low-tax jurisdictions in order to reduce their overall tax burden.
The relationship between tax havens and corporate profit shifting is a complex and multifaceted issue that has significant implications for government revenue, economic inequality, and global economic stability. Understanding this relationship is crucial for policymakers, tax authorities, and scholars seeking to address tax avoidance and promote fair and transparent tax systems.
