   NOTE: Apologies for the difference in natation today. Were in the process of moving office and getting Ben to record the voiceover with his microphone at home just made the most sense. We should be back to normal soon! – Jack

   You are forgetting the city of London as articulation between tax havens and the normal world.
   You keep forgetting the isles in the sleeve channel.
   These are all constructions for oligarchs, Prigoshins, and the likes.

   Brits do always have a blind eye there when naming places to avoid taxes, to park illegal money, in sum: to commit fraud.

   Of course it is…. that's where the rich Germans hide their money. Why do you think the Swiss didn't join the EU ? Keeping their money out of EU jurisdiction.

   If Switzerland can somehow offer top-of-the-line quality of life metrics while keeping the cost of government low on individuals and firms, that’s good on Switzerland.
   Let’s all strive to be as efficient as Switzerland!

   Thank you for clarifying this! But it's still safe to say that a lot of companies are in Switzerland solely for tax reasons and that Switzerland can only afford this low rate because neighboring countries have higher tax rates. In other words: Switzerland is at an unfair advantage. Would be interesting to know how CH would do economically with a fair tax rate.

   "Cracking down on tax avoidance." just sounds horrible.
   Every taxed human being on Earth, consciously or unconsciously, engages in tax avoidance. Even if it's just to choose not to buy something because the price+tax is slightly too much.
   WHY would you "crack down" on people choosing not to buy something?

   If 5th place accounts for 5% of the risk…. Then the top 4 accounts for 90+%? 👀

    The US destroyed the banking system in Switzerland and other tax havens (with the BS excuse of money laundering and terrorism), so they could become the new biggest tax haven for foreign money. As they say onshore is the new offshore. Reality is if the US was smart it would adopt a flat tax rate like Russia, which would bring all the US money hidden abroad back to the US. Problem is the US debt is so high that even 37% federal isn't cutting it, so a flat tax of 10-15% is probably out of the question and flat rate will never happen. If anything I wouldn't be surprised to see 45% like France in coming years.

    Biden on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Amos J. Hochstein Biden’s wallet in Naftogaz.

    Zelensky and Kolomoisky are laundering money through real estate in the United States, read Pandora papers.

    As it is said in Argentina "hazte la fama y échate a dormir" (make yourself famous and go to sleep). Switzerland a tax heaven for a long time and needs to do a lot more to change it's image.

    Actually it is a tax haven my half brother who is a deposed Ghanaian prince told he keeps his money there and he wants to share it with me if I just cover the cost of transferring the funds from Zurich to Ghana.

    the problem with tax it's that states never tell their inhabitants how the money is used precisely, if it was clearer they could easily levy more taxes with fewer unhappy people

    Europe's tax havens are the UK, Netherlands and Monaco. Switzerland hasn't been a tax heaven since the digital age started.

    Mexico Investigation over Pegasus and Sourgum, Onavo, etc. spyware and malware has changed everything that we know about Money Laundering and Tax Evasion : " Government spent US $ 300 million on spyware including kickbacks ", Mexiconewsdaily com,7.22.21, and in APNews , 7.21.21 :" Mexico : $ 300 million in spyware spending includes kickbacks " The People most interested in using Spyware is Drug Cartels and their Money Laundering gangsters .
    In the case of Switzerland, Pr.Biden is right and the Swiss Government cannot blame anyone but themselves. Take the case of the Middle East indicted bank giving 5.300 of their Customers in Switzerland a special tax free account and debit card that technically does not exist.

    Can tldr please educate themselves on how finance really works. Please read The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton. It clearly explains that countries that can issue their own currency can print all the money they like. They have no need of taxes and government led fiscal policy doesn't work the same way a household financial situation. In other words ordinary people cannot spend more than they earn or they go bankrupt. Governments that have sovereignty over their own currency can just keep issuing more money.

    Given Switzerland's history of getting rich while watching all of its neighbors burn, it can be challenging to take what they say altogether very seriously. There's a lack of moral accountability that runs deep in the waters of the Swiss Alps.
