Dutch political party GroenLinks wants steps taken against diversion of money to tax havens

This research shows that a rich elite may have kept amounts up to $21 trillion out of reach of the taxman. As a result governments worldwide are missing out on $189 billion in tax revenues. Tax Justice not only refers to uncollected taxation but also notes that global inequality has increased.
Suggestion: The report makes clear that not only tax revenue has been lost, but that wealth throughout the world has become more unevenly distributed than previously considered possible.

The research was published in July 2012 by British newspaper The Observer. James Henry – former chief economist at McKinsey – used data of the IMF, the World Bank, the United Nations and central banks for the study.
