AN INVESTIGATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TAX HAVENS, LOBBY AND WELFARE LOSS
Abstract
Tax havens emerge as an important global issue that has not lost its popularity in the last 30 years and continues to increase more and more every day. Tax havens, whatever they may be, are not naturally formed, but are produced by means of people and states. Tax havens, which host many of the off-shore bank accounts in the world, help companies or individuals to pay less tax by channeling their income to these accounts. Tax havens lead to the erosion of taxes, one of the most important sources of funding for states. Less tax leads to the limitation of even mandatory public services such as education, health and justice which will have a major impact on welfare. In this study, it is observed that lobbying activities cause breaks in economy in global sense and that it is one of the important elements of welfare loss. The lobbyists, who make their income by putting pressure and tax underpayment, also form their own financing in order to ensure the continuity of the system. In this study, it is concluded that the welfare loss resulting from tax havens and lobbying is an integral part of this triad.
