The Tax Free Tour (vpro backlight documentary)
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
"Where do multinationals pay taxes and how much?" Gaining insight from international tax experts, Backlight director Marije Meerman ('Quants' & 'Money & Speed'), takes a look at tax havens, the people who live there and the routes along which tax is avoided globally. Those routes go by resounding names like 'Cayman Special', 'Double Irish', and 'Dutch Sandwich'. A financial world operates in the shadows surrounded by a high level of secrecy. A place where sizeable capital streams travel the world at the speed of light and avoid paying tax. The Tax Free Tour is an economic thriller mapping the systemic risk for governments and citizens alike. Is this the price we have to pay for globalised capitalism? At the same time, the free online game "Taxodus" by Femke Herregraven is launched. In the game, the player can select the profile of a multinational and look for the global route to pay as little tax as possible.

I love this William Brittain-Catlin bloke in this. He is so obviously just come back from the pub, that the film have supplied him with a coffee, yet they still value his opinion. imagine him sober.
-
He is not the solution, but this is a reason for Trump's election and also for Brexit. We are witnessing the collapse of Western Capitalism.
-
whoa! wow,! is there a follow up to this documentary
-
missing an angle which highlights that the only reason we can have tax heavens and "tax avoidance" is government making complicated tax laws which have lots of loopholes... companies are not free of blame on this, but government is the one providing the perverse incentives in the first place which is something the documentary misses completely!
-
How about getting some people that don't talk like they have a head injury or took a fistful of Quaaludes? This is unwatchable.
-
evil google, fair trade starbucks, socially responsible amazon. praise the lard!
-

Governments are parasitical wasteful structure that leech of productive and hardworking members of society. The tax game is an ethical way for entrepreneurs to protect and secure their profits away from the State.
-
I dont like tax, I am glad that there are tax heavens. Governments are corrupt and stupid, that is good enough reason not to give them money. They should start employing more educated people in governments, that would fix their money problem.

The FT is superior to the WSJ. To the point where, the WSJ stole all of the FT's best ideas, and implemented them!
You do not see these sorts of documentaries made in the US! That is most telling. -
Cash is King... What is Cash?? Collateral is God... What is God??

Appropriate safeguards are required before developing countries adopt EPZs.
-
I don't know how and why it's legally allowed.
-
Just unfair: Poor and middle class citizen paying burden taxation and those rich enough CEO's and multy-national companies using this tricky strategies/ schemes to do asset concealment and taxation evasion legally(?)...I don't know why!
-
Please do a documentary on the Fed. No oversight whatsoever for that PRIVATE company. Not even Congressmembers have access to the workings of the Fed
-
Corporate social responsibility is the biggest joke
-
I can't understand why people are praising these companies when the taxes these companies are not paying are being paid them.
-
tax and interest are the same thing, just different end of a string.

U.S. citizens and resident aliens living outside the United States can use IRS Free File to prepare and file their federal tax returns electronically.
