    The Pandora papers are the latest in a long line on P Papers that have supposedly unmasked the shady dealings of the global elite’s worldwide network of money laundering, tax evasion and corruption.
    You have no doubt seen the headlines, and if you are following the story closely you are likely thinking that nothing will really come of this.
    It’s been five years since the Panama Papers were released the world and since then they have been followed up by the paradise papers, as well as a series of smaller leaks ultimately confirming what everybody suspected was going on anyway.
    Now to an outside observer it is easy to be a bit disheartened by all of this news and simply resign yourself to the fact that these schemes will just happen forever and nothing will really be done to punish the perpetrators. This narrative would certainly be supported by the outlets publishing these stories too, because to be honest… outrage sells.
    But it’s not necessarily the case, and perhaps the best way to see this is to do what no stories on this issue have been willing to do, and that is to unpack how this creative international accounting actually functions.

      - Global Minimum Tax

      There the Irish Dutch sandwich comes in. The Dutch don't tax revenue from IP at all. So you create a Dutch company that owns the name for your company group and licence it to the other companies. For some reason the fee is such that the other companies don't have any profits. Curious that. There are also tricks with companies giving each other loans and paying surprisingly high (or low) interest.

      The 15% likely will not change anything. Corporations are not like us they have different expenses based on the type of business they are in so they are all taxed based off their net revenue rather than how we mere mortals are taxed. So lets say Panama charges 15% but allows the company to write off any and everything including expenses that aren't felt by shareholders ( like depreciation) so my evil holding corp pays 15% of zero.

      1. Retail investors are being squeezed for everything due to the Biden admin,, and I don't think hedge funds or institutions gaf about CZcamsrs.
      2. Even tho clickbait is here to stay, the age of fear mongering for views will flip again. People only click on the 😱 videos due to uncertainty. But again without retail investors with money in the market and wars coming to a head, eventually the last thing people are going to want to see is more bad news.... specially if all the bad news has passed lol.

    Quick note here on the coal mine in Brazil example. Brazil taxes the UBO - ultimate beneficial owner - meaning that no matter how many layers of companies or trusts you have, you must disclose the UBO to the tax authority and that natural person will have to pay taxes. That means you need reside somewhere else or else pay taxes here.
    That is very common in those schemes, because often countries tax the UBO, specially if they follow OCDE standards. The result is that you don't only choose carefully where your companies are, but you also have to choose carefully where to reside so you don't get taxed as UBO

    • @M4551kt
      @M4551kt Před 7 měsíci +1

      It isn't as much about as profit levels, as, for example, it is normal for startups to already incorporate an offshore structure from the get-go. Depending on your sector's regulation and local tax rates, you can easily calculate if offshoring is the way to go.
      To provide you some ballpark numbers: it is fair to say that the setup price ranges from 15k in a cheap jurisdiction (Panama, BVI) and non-compliance with economic substance laws, or up to 80k (USD), in case you do comply and incorporate in an expensive country (Switzerland, Luxembourg). The yearly cost to maintain, I would estimate between 5k - 40k, following the same logic.
      For wealthy individuals and wealth management, I have no idea as I never worked with it, but incorporation prices should be the same

    This was interesting. I used to work in Insolvency in Australia. To add something regarding the holding company and operating company side to the structure, there is legislation in Australia that holds a parent company responsible for losses to creditors of a subsidiary if the subsidiary is deemed to have traded whilst insolvent. This highlights the importance of putting the holding company outside of Australia where the trading entity is operating. You have to be careful where the holding company is registered because several “stable” countries with sophisticated and similarly oriented legal systems have begun harmonising insolvency operations allowing a liquidator from country to recover assets from participating countries.

    The bit that always gets me; setting up these schemes is cheaper then the taxes.

    Can you do a more in-depth video on how to set up these structures? Maybe cover the best 5 countries for each of the stages and why they're best for that stage?
    Not so much a finger shake as a tutorial? That'd be great.

      i am also willing to learn more about this, i think if you dig deep enough the internet will give you an answer. I own a fairly small olive oil company from greek in germany, and the taxes are higher than i‘d like them to be. but if you ‚only‘ earn your salary, i‘m sure this won‘t make sense for you

    This was great! You actually approached this in a way that answers the apathy question in a satisfying way. I like your style - explain in a way that makes sense to a regular person.

    I learned some of this working in a cannabis start up.
    Having a holding co is required in most states because cannabis is federally illegal so the LLC growing and producing is owned by holding Co that hires a management Co that manages the LLC. I was technically an employee of the management Co and not the garden or extraction lab.

      @@krombopulos_michael from what I understand, hedge funds are more involved in trading the assets for profit, meaning they don't focus on "owning" companies to manage them, instead they profit in the stock market
