๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Europe has a tax haven problem much closer to home than many might think.

Our new illicit financial flows tracker reveals that an estimated US$673 billion in wealth and finance illicitly crosses European countriesโ€™ borders every year for the purpose of cheating on tax.

๐Ÿ’ธ More than half โ€“ US$377 billion, or 56 per cent โ€“ goes to other European countries.

That challenges the familiar picture of Europe primarily losing money to palm-fringed island tax havens. Instead, European countries consistently rank among the top destinations for illicit flows leaving their neighboursโ€™ economies.

The tracker makes these flows visible, allowing countries to see where illicit money leaving their economies is going โ€“ and where secretive wealth and finance entering their economies is coming from.

The findings come as negotiations towards a UN tax convention continue, highlighting the billions in tax revenue European governments stand to recover from reforms to the international tax system.

๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸงผWhat is greenlaundering?

As world leaders gather in New York this week to discuss climate action and the just transition, transparency over fossil fuel financing matters more than ever.

Our research found that 68% of fossil fuel financing provided by the world's 60 largest banks was granted to subsidiaries in secrecy jurisdictions.

These opaque corporate structures can make it difficult to see where financing ultimately goes and how much banks are really financing fossil fuels.

We call this greenlaundering.

๐Ÿ”ŽFind out how financial secrecy can conceal the full scale of fossil fuel financing, and why greater transparency is needed for meaningful climate action.

๐ŸšฉWhere are the vulnerabilities to illicit financial flows?

Our new global dashboard maps the pathways, actors and structural risks that underpin illicit financial flows.

Rather than only estimating the overall scale, it shows where risks arise, which channels are involved and which jurisdictions are connected to them. Explore what it reveals about individual countries.๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ๏ธMany people think of tax havens as small islands. โŒ

But some of the biggest tax havens are among the worldโ€™s largest economies.๐ŸŒŽ

The Corporate Tax Haven Index looks at the countries whose laws and financial systems create the biggest opportunities for multinational corporations to underpay tax.

It combines what countries allow with the scale of corporate activity flowing through them.

Where does the worldโ€™s financial secrecy come from? ๐Ÿ‘€

The Financial Secrecy Index ranks countries based on how much financial secrecy they supply to the world. A higher rank on the index does not necessarily mean a country is more secretive, but that the country plays a bigger role in enabling wealthy individuals and criminals to hide and launder money extracted from around the world.

Tax does more than raise revenue.

It can help shape fairer societies in five ways:

๐Ÿ’ฐ Revenue โ€“ to fund public services, infrastructure and administration.
โš–๏ธ Redistribution โ€“ to curb inequalities between individuals and between groups.
๐ŸŒฑ Repricing โ€“ to limit public โ€œbadsโ€ such as to***co consumption and carbon emissions.
๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ Representation โ€“ to build healthier democratic processes, recognising that higher reliance of government. spending on tax revenues is strongly linked to higher quality of governance and political representation.
โœŠ Reparation โ€“ to redress the historical legacies of empire and ecological damage.

That's the power of tax justice.

What is tax justice?

We believe our tax and financial systems are our most powerful tools for creating a just society that gives equal weight to the needs of everyone.

But under pressure from corporate giants and the super-rich, governments have too often programmed these systems to prioritise the wealthiest over everybody else, wiring financial secrecy and tax havens into the core of our global economy.

This fuels inequality, fosters corruption and undermines democracy.

Tax justice is about repairing these injustices by reprogramming our tax and financial systems so they work for everyone, not just the richest and most powerful.

Rich countries stand to gain billions from a bolder UN tax convention, yet many spent two weeks of negotiations in New York pushing to dilute its ambition.

New research from the Tax Justice Network and Public Services International shows fairer taxing rights could raise around US$500 billion a year in additional corporate tax revenue, with OECD countries among the biggest beneficiaries.

Next stop: Nairobi. ๐ŸŒ
