I also understand that the NDP has said that the U.S. compiles an amount as to how much money is lost to tax havens. Mr. Layton was calling on Mr. Harper to begin publishing annual estimates of the tax dollars Canadians are losing to wealthy tax cheats in some corporations.
The United States is doing this now. Every year $100 billion in revenue is lost in tax havens. This is a huge amount that has to be recovered for citizens.
I presume that estimate comes from the U.S. IRS. Would that be a good source for that information?
