Some progress has been made on the critical reforms needed \u2013 in particular, eliminating the secrecy that shrouds tax havens \u2013 but there\u2019s still more to do.<\/p>\n<p><b>Systemic issues<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In sorting through these new documents, journalists have quite reasonably tended to focus on the \u201ceasy connections\u201d and \u201cknown individuals\u201d. This work has identified at least 956 companies with more than 336 beneficiaries who are \u201chigh-level politicians and public officials\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This includes Vladimir Putin\u2019s mistress allegedly having assets worth US$100 million, Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah II using offshore companies to buy three Malibu mansions for US$70 million, and the 11-year-old son of Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev owning nine waterfront mansions in Dubai worth US$44 million.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the list of 35 current and former national leaders, including Czech prime minister Andrej Babi\u0161, Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and former British prime minister Tony Blair.<\/p>\n<p>But as juicy as these stories are, we should not be distracted from the systemic issues that lead to the wealthy using offshore legal entities and accounts. It\u2019s not always nefarious or illicit.<\/p>\n<p><b>Protecting assets<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the Pandora Papers are arrangements that, with incomplete information, may appear suspect but may be quite legitimate. An example might be the 81 trust structures established in the US state of South Dakota and at least 100 more in various other US states where trust disclosures, especially about beneficial ownership, are not mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>To properly assess these transactions we really need more information. The use of complex business structures, involving countries with high levels of secrecy, may be done to facilitate tax avoidance. But it might also be \u201casset protection\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><b>Weak property rights<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In countries with weak property rights and unreliable judicial systems, even those who accrue wealth legitimately can fear losing it. Consider, for example, the case of China\u2019s billionaire actress and singer Zhao Wei, who in August was \u201cerased from history\u201d, or Jack Ma, China\u2019s richest man until he criticised financial regulators last year.<\/p>\n<p>This creates a demand for assets held in other countries (preferably secretly) and a legal system that protects ownership of those assets. It also likely explains why 3.3 million of the 6.9 million documents in this latest leak relate to offices located in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of these documents recognising the relative strength of property rights in the countries where individuals, or their businesses, are based would be interesting \u2014 and not just as an \u201cacademic\u201d exercise.<\/p>\n<p>In many countries, particularly developing countries, weak property rights contribute to lack of capital for economic development by creating incentives for the legitimately wealthy to use offshore accounts and assets.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests a critical need to enhance property rights in these countries. Weak legal systems also facilitate wealth accumulation through corruption or exploitation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unfinished business<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Five years ago when discussing the revelations from the Panama Papers, we suggested the first thing the global community needed to do was require the public disclosure of country-by-country reporting of company tax affairs by all tax authorities.<\/p>\n<p>This idea (known as CbCR) emerged from OECD and G20 recommendations made about the time of the Luxembourg Leaks in 2014. About 100 countries have adopted the CbCR policy, at least in part.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that in too many cases \u2013 such as Australia and the US \u2013 the disclosures are only to the tax authority, not to the public. In 2017 we also recommended all countries have public registers of beneficial ownership of all entities.<\/p>\n<p>There has also been some progress on this. Significant pressure has been applied to tax havens or secrecy jurisdictions such as the Bahamas and Switzerland. But more is needed.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, for example, the Paradise Papers led to the government floating the idea of a public register of beneficial ownership, but this was shut down soon after.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, states such Delaware and South Dakota are still \u201csecrecy jurisdictions\u201d. Some progress has been made in making tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions more transparent.<\/p>\n<p>But many would say the progress has been mainly benefited wealthy countries, helping them increase tax revenue and to be seen to be doing something to fight corruption, while still allowing corruption to flourish in poorer nations.<\/p>\n<p>Until countries such as the US and Australia embrace the reforms that have been on the table since LuxLeaks, expect further document leaks with similar results in the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>Roman Lanis Associate Professor, Accounting, University of Technology Sydney Peter Wells Professor, Accounting Discipline Group, University of Technology Sydney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
