    5th International Conference on Accounting, Auditing, and Taxation (ICAAT 2016) TAX TRANSPARENCY – AN ANALYSIS OF THE LUXLEAKS FIRMS Johannes Manthey University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany Dirk Kiesewetter University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany Abstract This paper finds that the firms involved in the Luxembourg Leaks (‘LuxLeaks’) scandal are less transparent measured by the engagement in earnings management, analyst coverage, analyst accuracy, accounting standards and auditor choice. The analysis is based on the LuxLeaks sample and compared to a control group of large multinational companies. The panel dataset covers the years from 2001 to 2015 and comprises 19,109 observations. The LuxLeaks firms appear to engage in higher levels of discretionary earnings management measured by the variability of net income to cash flows from operations and the correlation between cash flows from operations and accruals. The LuxLeaks sample shows a lower analyst coverage, lower willingness to switch to IFRS and a lower Big4 auditor rate. The difference in difference design supports these findings regarding earnings management and the analyst coverage. The analysis concludes that the LuxLeaks firms are less transparent and infers a relation between corporate transparency and the engagement in tax avoidance. The paper aims to establish the relationship between tax avoidance and transparency in order to give guidance for future policy. The research highlights the complex causes and effects of tax management and supports a cost benefit analysis of future tax regulation. Keywords: Tax Avoidance, Transparency, Earnings Management JEL Classification: H20, H25, H26 1. Introduction The Luxembourg Leaks (’LuxLeaks’) scandal made public some of the tax strategies used by multinational companies.

  • Which Tax Havens Are the Most Central? Applying Social Network Analysis to Understand Firm Service Interactions
    Financial Geography Working Paper Series – ISSN 2515-0111 Which tax havens are the most Financial Working Geography Paper central? Applying social network analysis to understand firm service interactions Rory Crofts & Thomas Sigler School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Queensland, [email protected], [email protected] November 2018 # 20 1 Financial Geography Working Paper Series – ISSN 2515-0111 Which tax havens are the most central? Applying social network analysis to understand firm service interactions Abstract Tax havens play an increasingly important role in the global financial system. Recent scholarship has focused on a number of interrelated aspects of tax havens, including the drivers of their formation, firm and industry based perspectives on taxation, corporate structures, and their geographical position within the global economy. This paper adopts a network-based approach to tax havens, focusing on the ‘interlocking’ services provided by local firms. It focuses specifically on how law firms in 15 global tax havens are networked through common tax-related legal services. The analysis suggests that there is a ‘rich club’ of jurisdictions whose tax-related services are broad and central to firm activity, namely in the European core of the Netherlands, Ireland and Luxembourg. Relating to the rich core are a number of cliques, including the ‘Bermuda Triangle’ of Bermuda, Cayman Island, and British Virgin Islands; the crown dependencies of Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey; and Asian hubs of Singapore, Mauritius and Hong Kong. Ship registry hubs such as Panama, Liberia, and Cyprus were somewhat more peripheral to the network as specialization reduces the number of common services.

  • The Financial Secrecy Index: Shedding New Light on the Geography of Secrecy
    The Financial Secrecy Index: Shedding New Light on the Geography of Secrecy Alex Cobham, Petr Janský, and Markus Meinzer Abstract Both academic research and public policy debate around tax havens and offshore finance typically suffer from a lack of definitional consistency. Unsurprisingly then, there is little agreement about which jurisdictions ought to be considered as tax havens—or which policy measures would result in their not being so considered. In this article we explore and make operational an alternative concept, that of a secrecy jurisdiction and present the findings of the resulting Financial Secrecy Index (FSI). The FSI ranks countries and jurisdictions according to their contribution to opacity in global financial flows, revealing a quite different geography of financial secrecy from the image of small island tax havens that may still dominate popular perceptions and some of the literature on offshore finance. Some major (secrecy-supplying) economies now come into focus. Instead of a binary division between tax havens and others, the results show a secrecy spectrum, on which all jurisdictions can be situated, and that adjustment lfor the scale of business is necessary in order to compare impact propensity. This approach has the potential to support more precise and granular research findings and policy recommendations.

  • Financial Transaction Tax: a Discussion Paper on Fiscal and Economic
    Financial transaction tax: A discussion paper on fiscal and economic implications June 2013 The political debate surrounding the financial transaction tax has become fixated on the simplistic common denominator: collecting money, penalising banks, assuaging the markets and establishing justice. These winsome and appealing demands currently enjoy broad support in Germany. With public approval at 82% according to the European Commission's Eurobarometer survey, positive sentiment is highest in Germany ahead of both France and Greece, where approval is at 75%. And so it appears that the political common denominator has been found! However, from a macroeconomic perspective the crux is whether it would ultimately be possible to satisfy regulatory and fiscal demands by introducing the financial transaction tax. Doubts are not unwarranted in this regard. Is the financial transaction tax capable of fulfilling the necessary functions of financing, distribution and steering? Although the specific embodiment of the financial transaction tax remains nebulous for the time being, if one takes a long-term, holistic view, the direct and indirect costs of introducing such a tax appear to outweigh the benefits. The following observations summarise the manifest flaws in the concept, as well as the financial and real economic ramifications of those flaws, which have not been given sufficient consideration. In June 2012, the German federal government and the opposition published a green paper, in which they promised "to assess the impact the tax would have on pension assets, retail investors and the real economy, and to avoid negative consequences".1 It is becoming clear that this promise is untenable. In fact, a financial transaction tax is incapable of sensibly and expediently fulfilling any of the three necessary functions of a tax: financing, distribution and steering.

  • Analysis Ofireland's Corporation Tax Roadmap
    Analysis of Ireland’s Corporation Tax Roadmap Introduction In 2017 the Department of Finance undertook an independent review of Ireland’s corporation tax code, authored by Mr Seamus Coffey. This was designed to complement the work being done at the OECD and EU level to establish new international tax standards. In facilitating this review, the Department of Finance conducted a public consultation seeking the views of the public and interested parties on the matters identified by the terms of reference of the review. The consultation ran from 21 February to 4 April 2017. Oxfam Ireland prepared a submission in relation to this. Mr Coffey delivered his review to the Minister for Finance and for Public Expenditure and Reform, Paschal Donohoe T.D., on 30 June 2017. The Review made 18 recommendations under the terms of reference. In the review, Mr Coffey noted that a number of the recommendations are very technical and complex and will require further consultation. In late 2017/early 2018 the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure & Reform launched a public consultation on certain recommendations of the Coffey Review and on the implementation of the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives (ATADs) that Ireland had signed up to (the Coffey/ATAD consultation). This consultation process asked for feedback on nine specific questions related to the above and also provided the opportunity to provide input on areas outside these 9 questions. Oxfam Ireland completed a second detailed submission in relation to this second consultation both on the 9 questions and on areas outside the nine questions. Ireland’s Corporation Tax Roadmap (hereafter referred to as ‘the Report’) is a result of this consultation process.

    LUXFIN A VISION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LUXEMBOURG FINANCIAL CENTRE CONTENTS Foreword by Pierre Gramegna, Minister of Finance 2 Executive Summary 4 01 Luxembourg’s development as a leading financial centre 6 02 The Luxembourg and European financial services industries 16 03 Core growth ambitions for the Luxembourg financial centre 04 26 Luxembourg’s growth enablers 34 05 Growth plans and potential in each sector of the financial centre 41 2 FOREWORD Foreword Over the course of the last three decades, Luxembourg has been able to build a financial industry which is uniquely specialized in cross-border activities. This is a common feature throughout the entire range of services provided in Luxembourg, whether Pierre Gramegna, in investment funds, wealth management, capital market Minister of Finance operations or advisory services. Enabling investors to connect November 2015 with different markets has become our trade. The success of the Luxembourg financial industry has not only benefited Luxembourg but Europe more generally. Luxembourg’s leading position in the investment fund area is foremost a success story of a European investment product, the UCITS. The assets raised in the fund industry through Luxembourg are assets that benefit companies all over Europe as they are being reinvested in various countries and help finance economic activity. Luxembourg’s expertise plays the role of enabler of this investment. Luxembourg has grown economically with the completion of the Single Market of the European Union where goods, people, services and capital can move freely. This Single Market has spurred trade and thus ensured growth. It is imperative not only to preserve it but also to continue to work for its completion.

    Corporate tax secrecy and the state: the Apple case in Ireland Debt and Development Coalition Ireland Policy Paper – October 2015 Corporate tax secrecy and the State: the case of Apple in Ireland ‘...any reduction of tax for Apple results in a loss of tax revenue that otherwise would have been available to Ireland’ EU Commission, September 2014, p. 141 In 2014, the European Commission (EC) announced that it was to conduct investigations into whether or not state aid had been granted through secretive tax dealings, in contravention of EU rules, to Apple in Ireland, Starbucks in the Netherlands, Fiat in Luxembourg, and Amazon in Luxembourg. Results are still pending. But the picture of widespread lose more revenue due to tax-dodging than they receive as corporate tax avoidance which is emerging from these development aid, as MNCs shop around for loopholes to investigations depicts a broken global tax system being used avoid tax.3 by highly-profitable multinational corporations (MNCs) to minimise the taxes they pay at the cost of public revenues In this context, the current situation in which Ireland has in the countries where they operate. In the case of Ireland’s secretive tax arrangements with MNCs, beyond the scrutiny tax arrangements with Apple, the EC’s preliminary findings of the Oireachtas or the public because of a blanket have already shown evidence of secretive tax deals between view of taxpayer confidentiality taken by the Revenue Revenue and Irish subsidiaries of Apple Inc, resulting in the Commissioners, is an affront to transparency, democratic loss of significant revenues for the public purse.
