Skat og skattelyEn ‘driver’ af ulighed med behov for at regeringer samarbejder
Hvorfor er skattely vigtige? Skattely Ulighed Fattigdom
Skattefiflerier: Udfordringen - Estimater • Rigmænd: • $7.600 milliarder private formuer i skattely • Afrika ca. $500 mia og skattetab på $14 mia. • Omkostning til skattely fra individer: Ca $190 mia USD • Selskaber: • USA’s multinationale selskaber har $80 mia USD overskud på Bermuda – mere end Kina, Japan, Frankrig og Tyskland tilsammen • Små og mellemstore selskaber betaler mere i skat end MNCs • Omkostning til skattely: $240+ mia – relativt mest for udviklingslande $100+ mia • Danmark: Tabt skat på 10-20 mia DKK. • Tillidskrise: Almindelige mennesker betaler skat, mens eliten, de rige og store selskaber går i skattely • Hver gang formuer gemmes i skattely koster det et barns skolegang
Multinationale selskaber • Glencore Kobbermine i Zambia • Diamanter i Sierra Leone • Teleselskaber • Apple • Goldman Sachs; Google, Starbucks, etc….
Private rigmænd og skattely • #PanamaPapers: • Flytte formuer off-shore • Skuffeselskaber • Stråmænd og Anonyme ejere – skjuler egentlige ejere • Rådgiverbranchen – formuerådgivere, banker og skatteadvokater • Skattely – terrorisme, narkopenge og andre kriminelle
Den uhellige tre-enighed Banker Skatteadvokater Selskaber rigmænd
EU og skattely • CCCTB – nytænkning af beskatning af multinationale selskaber • Hvidvaskdirektiv – offentligheden skal vide, hvem der ejer selskaber • Offentlig land for land rapportering for selskaber – off skal vide, hvor selskaber har aktiviteter og betaler skat • Ulandene skal med – derfor offentlighed • Sortlistning af skattely – også dem i EU!
WE NEED A COMMON SENSE ALTERNATIVE TO MANAGE OUR ECONOMIES... ...THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE FORTUNATE FEW.
WHERE COMPANIES WORK FOR EMPLOYEES AND SOCIETY... ...NOT JUST WEALTHY SHAREHOLDERS.
INGREDIENTS OF THE HUMAN ECONOMY: • Governments will work for the 99%. • Accountable government is the greatest weapon against extreme inequality and the key to a human economy. Governments must listen to all, not a wealthy minority and their lobbyists. • 2. Governments will cooperate, not just compete. • Globalization cannot continue to mean a relentless race to the bottom on tax and labour rights which benefits no one but those at the top. • Companies will work for the benefit of everyone. • Governments should support business models that clearly drive the kind of capitalism that benefits all and underpins a sustainable future. • Ending the extreme concentration of wealth to end extreme poverty. • Today‟s gilded age is undermining our future, and needs to be ended. The richest should be made to contribute to society fairly and not be allowed to get away with unfair privileges. • A human economy will work equally for men and women. • Gender equality will be at the heart of the human economy, ensuring that both halves of humanity have an equal chance in life and are able to live fulfilled lives. • Technology will be harnessed for the interests of the 99%. • New technology has huge potential to transform our lives for the better. This will only happen with active government intervention, especially in the control of technology. • A human economy will be powered by sustainable renewable energy. • Fossil fuels have driven economic growth since the era of industrialization, but they are incompatible with an economy that puts the needs of the many first. • Valuing and measuring what really matters. • Moving beyond GDP, we need to measure human progress using the many alternative measures available.
