In our latest for The Breach, Jared and I do a deep dive on how continued tax haven abuse is not just despite our government policy - it's because of our government policy.
Canada loses an astonishing $15 billion every year to tax havens.
Jared Walker & @silasxuereb.bsky.social argue that this money could fund public services, but successive governments have let corporations shift profits offshore—while regular Canadians pay the price.

Recovering the $15B/year Canada loses to tax havens—and billions more from other tax loopholes—could save us from 15% or more in cuts to the CBC, VIA Rail, StatsCan, museums, and other public services.
It can also help reverse deepening wealth and income inequality. Pass it on 📣

The use of tax havens is not just due to a few bad apples. We found that over three quarters of S&P/TSX 60 firms have at least one subsidiary in a tax haven, and the real number is likely even higher. Through differences in foreign tax rates, these firms avoided $7B in taxes in 2024.

After decades of international cooperation and the domestic implementation of a global minimum corporate tax, the use of tax havens must be declining, right?
