I will try to answer that question. What you have just described is one aspect of tax avoidance. We are operating in a global economy. It is therefore possible that companies attempt to transfer income to places where tax rates are lower and where treaties allow certain things to take place. But the way we are going about recovering money helps us to better understand the way the strategies function. Based on that information, we can make recommendations to the Minister of Finance and amend the act, as well as improve compliance.
