Opinion: Why do we keep letting Canada’s ultrarich use tax havens to stash wealth? Carney needs to end a near-universally loathed loophole that allows the wealthiest and largest corporations to avoid paying billions

"The ultrawealthy and large corporations that benefit the most from our economy are able to move their assets to low-tax jurisdictions to avoid paying billions in taxes, while the rest of us are left holding the bag." @c4tf.bsky.social

Ricardo Tranjan: Income inequality reached a new high. Here’s why Ottawa’s DOGE-style cuts will only make it worse The prime minister has gone from Captain Canada to Captain Cuts.

Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havens—and billions more from other tax loopholes—could save us from 15% or more in cuts to the CBC, VIA Rail, StatsCan, museums, and other public services.

It can also help reverse deepening wealth and income inequality. Pass it on 📣

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.

The rise and rise of tax havens Introduction: Canada has a big tax haven problem

After decades of international cooperation and the domestic implementation of a global minimum corporate tax, the use of tax havens must be declining, right?

Actually, our new report finds Canadian assets in tax havens hit a record $682B in 2024, up 165% from 2014 www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

The super rich have tons of tax advantages available to them, and yet...

They're still choosing to steal billions every year according to a new report from @c4tf.bsky.social

These people aren't patriots. They don't care about our economy, democracy, or country.

Great piece in @macleans.bsky.social from the newest #TaxTheRich kids on the block, @patmillscanada.bsky.social! 💫

Carney may have dropped his elbows but the rest of us need to keep them up. If you want to support fair taxation initiatives, give Canadians for Tax Fairness @c4tf.bsky.social a follow.

Dear Mark Carney and François-Philippe Champagne: Canada cannot afford to concede more to foreign tech giants We are disappointed by the government’s decision yesterday to both halt collection of the Digital Services Tax and eventually repeal the Digital Services Tax Act.

Proud to sign on to this important statement with our civil society colleagues in the Toronto Star in support of the DST www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Trump is a bully, with the attention span of a goldfish. Canada can’t cave to the pressure and enable the long-term greed of big tech because he’s throwing a tantrum. Our latest on the DST here: www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources...

The #UNTaxConvention is a crucial component of ensuring tax justice for all nations, including Canada. Important update on its progress from our international partner, @globaltaxjustice.org:

Middle class tax cuts without plans to make up revenue could harm public services After appointing his new cabinet, a middle-class tax cut was Prime Minister Mark Carney's first order of business.

Tax cuts for everyday Canadians provide welcome relief but we must ensure they don’t come at the cost of public services. Let’s tax the rich to pay for them!

Save the climate, tax the rich To save the environment, it is time to tax the rich and address their out-sized impact on climate change.
