Tax Justice Network

[3] The TJN has reported on the OECD Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) projects and conducted their own research that the scale of corporate taxes being avoided by multinationals is an estimated $660 billion in 2012 (a quarter of US multinationals’ gross profits), which is equivalent to 0.9% of World GDP.

[9][10] The Financial Secrecy Index is a biennial publication of the TJN which was started in 2009 and was last released in February 2020.

[11] It covers 133 global jurisdictions and produces a "Secrecy Indicator" score for each based on 20 qualitative criteria.

[15] It covers 64 global jurisdictions and produces a "Corporate Tax Haven Index" value by combining two core measures; first a "Haven Score" based on 20 mostly tax related criteria, second a "Global Scale Weight" showing the scale of activity.

[16][17][18] Experts of TJN appeared at public hearings of the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag in 2016.
