Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havensāand billions more from other tax loopholesācould 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 š£

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.

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
