Here's a short funny story about international tax and racism. (Ok, it's not that funny. But it's also about academic impact, and very much worth celebrating.)
On 7 April 2021, President Biden announces he's going to stop companies being "able to hide their income in places like the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, in #taxhavens."

Somehow, it's *always* the [black majority] palm-fringed islands that get called out...

On 13 April, @brooklyntaxprof wrote an open letter: it "may be true, in a sense. But it encapsulated the racism you promised to purge from our discourse. Tax experts you surround yourself with know Switzerland belongs at the top of any list of #taxhavens" thenation.com/article/econom…

How do we make sense of the fact that our present-day system of #offshore #taxhavens expanded significantly during the 1950s&60s, the main decades of decolonization? In this piece, I explore part of the answer to this question: a thread academic.oup.com/past/advance-a… #twitterstorians
European settlers, businessmen, officials had been invested in #empire in various ways, across different colonies and imperial contexts. Such entanglements only increased in the final years of European rule #twitterstorians #offshore #taxation
At the same time, we know that many investors, where possible depending on circumstances and the nature of their assets, sought to remove themselves and their funds from the decolonizing world when non-white rule appeared increasingly likely #twitterstorians

I got a lot of questions recently on #tax policy developments in the #Netherlands. So here is a thread!

A lot has happened in the past 2 months. I will try to give a complete overview with implications and consequences for one of the largest #taxhavens in the world.

Enjoy! 👇🇳🇱
First a general comment.

Over the past weeks the Netherlands has been extensively portrayed as a harmful tax haven in the EU, especially by southern European countries.

Many numbers circulate about the Netherlands but missingprofits.world sums it up pretty well.
Several reports have been published in the NL in the past 2 months:

(1) The long-awaited report of an independent commission (known as Adviescommissie ter Haar) on how the NL should reform its laws to make multinationals pay their fair share. 👉rijksoverheid.nl/documenten/rap…
