The Role of Tax Expenditures in Enabling Illicit Financial Flows by Christian von Haldenwang, Lucas Millán-Narotzky, Irma Mosquera Valderrama, Agustín Redonda

“…Bilateral tax treaties, meanwhile, can act as facilitators of illicit financial flows because they provide legal devices with which to shift profits away from source countries, and add another layer of complexity to the tax system. To address the use and abuse of tax expenditures in this context, the transparency, tax certainty and simplicity of tax systems should be strengthened by any government trying to protect its tax base.…”
