Behind Starbucks’ “ethical sourcing” lies a global tax dodge shifting profits from coffee-producing countries to Switzerland. Customers pay an “ethical” premium while vital revenues for schools & hospitals are lost. - @jasonward-cictar.bsky.social, @cictar.bsky.social👉 taxjustice.net/2026/02/17/t...

"Rather than expand fossil fuel subsidies, lawmakers should close offshore tax loopholes that reward overseas extraction, reform how foreign profits are taxed, and require greater tax transparency so that Americans can see where profits are earned and taxes are paid."

Starbucks runs a global tax dodge via Switzerland under cover of its 'ethical' sourcing scheme, dodgy!!!

@cictar.bsky.social @coffeewatch.bsky.social @sbworkersunited.org

Thrilled to see SEIU driving this much needed and long overdue multinational tax reform in California!!! @cictar.bsky.social has been pushing this for years!

Jason Ward, principal analyst @cictar.bsky.social. “The new FASB data provides welcome and specific details to what we already knew in a broad sense. Most large US multinationals are huge global tax dodgers and major abusers of tax havens."

"CICTAR recommends that tax authorities in countries where Starbucks operates support centers carefully analyze payments made between these units and the subsidiary in Switzerland." @cictar.bsky.social @coffeewatch.bsky.social reporterbrasil.org.br/2026/02/star...

As @steph-sejourne.bsky.social cobbled together a coalition of CEOs to support his Made in Europe label giving access to billions of public funding, we do not want that money to go to companies that swindle and undermine funding of public services No public money to tax avoiders @politico.eu

New CICTAR report shows Starbucks shifts global coffee profits to Switzerland via an 18% mark‑up, moving an estimated US$1.3B over a decade. Meanwhile, little support reaches farmers. A clear case of profit extraction from the Global South.

@cictar.bsky.social Starbucks report lands in Brazil's largest newspaper! Time for coffee-producing countries to tax the profits Starbucks shifts to Switzerland and to push for global tax reforms!!! (paywall & Portuguese warning)

Profit shifting from coffee-growing countries -under the guise of 'ethical' sourcing- leaves a bitter taste! This case study makes the case for global reforms & suggests coffee-producing nations must tax profits shifted to Switzerland now! @cictar.bsky.social cictar.org/all-research...

State policymakers should raise revenue to counter cuts to federal funding enacted in the harmful 2025 Republican megabill. One good place to start: making large corporations pay their fair share. www.cbpp.org/blog/corpora...

This government-hired debt collected paid $0 in corporate tax – despite revenue of more than $100 million. Tell Jim Chalmers: No tax, no pay getup.to/2ndvZfMC8Y8iQ @cictar.bsky.social

Seriously! Time for govt's to stop outsourcing, especially to tax dodging corporations, particularly private equity owned or multinationals... @cictar.bsky.social @epsu.bsky.social @cpsu.org.au

EU Should Use Tax Transparency For Public Bids, Report Says @epsu.bsky.social @cictar.bsky.social @taxobservatory.bsky.social www.law360.com/tax-authorit...

Public contracts shouldn’t reward aggressive tax avoidance. As governments spend more on outsourcing, cloud and AI, EU #procurement rules must require #tax transparency from major bidders - and exclude those who won’t provide it. Read the new report 👉 www.epsu.org/article/new-...

"Jason Ward, ...[@cictar.bsky.social] said the business appeared to be structured in ways “to have avoided reporting and tax obligations in Australia”. He said the federal gov't should subject those bidding for public contracts to higher levels of transparency." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

FACT submitted comments ahead of today's House hearing on the U.S. international corporate tax system. As the administration pursues tariffs in the name of repatriating American jobs, our tax code actively rewards offshoring. Read the full comment here: thefactcoalition.org/fact-submits...

There was a "heavy reliance on Accenture, which has been involved in several previous Canberra tech wrecks" and has a local and global track record of major tax dodging! @cictar.bsky.social www.innovationaus.com/govt-shields...

Trump’s protection racket for the world’s largest corporate tax dodgers continues, this makes the G7’s Pillar 2 exemptions for US MNCs even more absurd! @cictar.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Public country by country reporting, it's coming soon... The world's best multinational tax transparency reporting requirement! (best for now...) @cictar.bsky.social www.law360.com/tax-authorit...

'This is a phoney use of a non-profit status in order to create private wealth. It absolutely makes no sense' CICTAR's Jason Ward talks to Australian National Broadcaster, ABC about the proposed tax games of private healthcare company Healthscope: cictar.org/news/abc/hea...

You may have heard of corporations using #OffshoreTaxHavens to avoid taxes, but what does that actually look like? The latest episode of Policy for the People breaks it down @itep.org, @jasonward-cictar.bsky.social, @cictar.bsky.social

Corporate lobbyists doing what they do! "Numerous supporters of the proposal, including union leaders and advocates for education, public health, direct personal care and other services... Sen. Liz Miranda... said the change would ensure large multinationals "actually pay their fair share" of taxes"

"The Canadian government must not bow to corporate pressure — or President Donald Trump — and instead ensure that profits earned in Canada are taxed in Canada" CICTAR's Jason Ward on why Canada should follow Australia on tax transparency in Canada's National Observer: cictar.org/news/canadao...

“Generally most Australian companies do the right thing... Most of the abuse we see comes from the big multinationals, and big US multinationals in particular" CICTAR's Jason Ward in the Guardian, commenting on the latest Aus Tax Office 'Corporate Transparency Report': cictar.org/news/guardia...

Palantir is the data giant behind ICE's attacks on immigrants. Its co-founder is JD Vance's billionaire benefactor. Stephen Miller owns around $250,000 of its stock. Its CEO got up to an $85 MILLION Trump tax break over 7 years. You see what's happening here, right?

Talking tax on TV (squatting @ MUA - Sydney Branch) calling out Trump for attempting to run a protection racket for giant US tax dodging multinationals @cictar.bsky.social

"Trump is essentially running a protection racket for larger US multinationals that most people already know are the most aggressive in dodging their tax obligations on the profits, the vast profits they make in Australia and around the world." @cictar.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Tax avoidance of Starbucks exposed news.mongabay.com/2025/04/repo... by @jasonward-cictar.bsky.social @jasonward-cictar.bsky.social @epi.org

Excellent coverage in France of @cictar.bsky.social Starbucks tax report: "The only thing the 'fair trade' label does is allow them to charge their customers more and hide an incredible system of global tax evasion," says Jason Ward of CICTAR"

“tax transparency continues to have momentum with a wide range of mainstream investors,” Jason Ward @cictar.bsky.social nearly 1/4 “of shareholders supported the call for public country by country reporting.” @factcoalition.bsky.social www.taxnotes.com/tax-notes-to...

US MNCs, already the most dodgy globally, could now avoid even more US tax payments! Trump & Co cut corporate taxes while gutting public services for those most in need. Shame!!! House Bill’s $164 Billion Giveaway to Multinational Corporations Puts America Last @iteptweets @cictar.bsky.social
