OccupyLSX Julian Assange pays homage to Anonymous. Tax office deals to wipe billions off unpaid company bills to be investigated. By NICHOLA JONES Updated: 02:25 GMT, 15 December 2011 Deals struck with the tax authorities to wipe billions of pounds off company bills are to be investigated by a former high court judge. Sir Andrew Park will scrutinise the tax settlements of ten companies – including Vodafone and Goldman Sachs – following allegations that agreements were made between the firms and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs to write off unpaid tax bills. Scrutiny: It has been alleged that agreements were made between HMRC and 10 companies MPs believe the public purse may have been deprived of £7billion in questionable deals.

The Commons public accounts committee is due to release a scathing report next week which will accuse HMRC of ‘systematic failings’. HMRC’s Dave Hartnett, the country’s top tax official, is expected to be singled out by the committee as letting down the tax payer. Questions: Goldman Sachs and Vodaphone are two of the companies under investigation.

25 Million pounds. U.S. offers 11 Swiss banks deal to end tax row: paper. Tony Blair’s rum role in tax haven advertisement. The full-page ad for BlackBeard’s was published in newspapers in the Cayman Islands, the Caribbean tax haven. It features the smiling former Labour prime minister holding a case of rum cake, an alcoholic dessert produced by the firm. The company’s “bold new identity got off to a great start when it recently caught the eye of past Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair”, boasts the advert. Lynne Southmore, of the firm, tells Mandrake: “He was invited to a little ceremony for BlackBeard’s.” Michael Ryan, a sponsor of the tournament, said Blair’s attendance “really underpins the crossover between sports, tourism and our finance sector”.

Blair was quoted as saying during the trip: “This is my first visit here and I’m only here a short time, but I think it’s a place where I would like to come back. Blair’s spokesman says of the advertisement: “We certainly didn’t authorise or approve anything like that.” Tax evasion: blacklist of 21 countries with 'golden passport' schemes published | Business. A blacklist of 21 countries whose so-called “golden passport” schemes threaten international efforts to combat tax evasion has been published by the west’s leading economic thinktank.

Three European countries – Malta, Monaco and Cyprus – are among those nations flagged as operating high-risk schemes that sell either residency or citizenship in a report released on Tuesday by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Paris-based body has raised the alarm about the fast-expanding $3bn (£2.3bn) citizenship by investment industry, which has turned nationality into a marketable commodity. In exchange for donations to a sovereign trust fund, or investments in property or government bonds, foreign nationals can become citizens of countries in which they have never lived. Other schemes, such as that operated by the UK, offer residency in exchange for sizable investments. Second passports can be misused by those wishing to “hide assets held abroad”, according to the thinktank. ‘Georganiseerde misdaad in krijtstreeppak’ roofde miljarden van Europese belastingdiensten. In heel Europa zijn landen jaren achtereen het doelwit geweest van ‘bendes’ van bankiers, handelaren en hedgefondsen die via ingenieuze constructies fraude met dividendbelasting pleegden.

Dit stuk in 1 minuut Via zorgvuldig opgezette internationale samenwerkingsverbanden wisten banken en brokers de belastingdiensten in Europa tussen 2001 en 2016 op zijn minst 55,2 miljard euro te ontfutselen.

Lees verder Tientallen jaren deden groepen van bankiers, handelaren, fiscalisten, investeerders, hedgefunds en pensioenfondsen zich tegoed aan Europese staatskassen.
