How to make money with tax data ?
Denmark is buying tax data.
It now plans to investigate whether 500-600 Danes who feature in the offshore archive may have evaded tax.
Denmark’s tax minister said he will pay up to DKK 9 million (EUR 1,2 million) to buy leaked data from the Panamaniam law firm Mossack Fonseca.
He said an anonymous source approached the Danish government over the 2016 summer. The source sent over an initial sample of documents and the government reviewed them. After concluding they were genuine, it secretly negotiated support for the controversial deal from political parties in parliament, the minister said.

Bernard Arnault s'installe en Belgique
La première fortune de France, Bernard Arnault, s'installe en Belgique.
Voir aussi l'echo.be: L'épicentre belge de l'empire de l'homme d'affaires français Bernard Arnault est logé dans une banale maison de ville à Schaerbeek. Cette maison abrite pas moins de 14 holdings du groupe....
Selon L’Écho qui publie une enquête intitulée "La boîte aux lettres belge d’Arnault vaut 7 milliards", Bernard Arnault aurait créé une nébuleuse de sociétés depuis des années. Son empire belge serait logé dans un immeuble sans lustre de Shaerbeeck. Une dizaine de sociétés (Le Peigné, GMPI, ou encore Cervinia...) y sont domiciliées. Elles profitent d’un régime fiscal attractif sur les holdings car les plus-values sur actions ne sont pas taxées. Avec le système des intérêts notionnels, les entreprises peuvent aussi déduire de leurs bénéfices un intérêt fictif. La constitution, enfin, de Proctinvest, une fondation de droit privé, doit permettre d’organiser une succession à un taux de 3 %, après donation, pour les cinq enfants de l’homme d’affaires. Luxe oblige, le groupe compte aussi des filiales opérationnelles installées sur plusieurs étages dans la Blue Tower sur la très chic avenue Louise.

Quelques unes des sociétés du Groupe Arnault en Belgique, toutes domiciliées avenue Louise 326 à Bruxelles:
- LVMH Watch & Jewelry Central Europe gmbh
- Cervinia
- GMPI S.A.- Gestion MOBILIERE, PATRIMONIALE ET IMMOBILIERE
- Le Peigne
- Le Peigne Invest
- Pilinvest
- Protectinvest
Les 6 dernières sociétés étaient précédemment domiciliées avenue Frans Courtens 131 à 1030 Schaerbeek.

Fighting tax evasion: European Commission proposes widest scope of automatic exchange of information within the EU
The European Commission has proposed extending the automatic exchange of information between EU tax administrations, as part of the intensified fight against tax evasion.
Under the proposal, dividends, capital gains, all other forms of financial income and account balances, would be added to the list of categories which are subject to automatic information exchange within the EU. This paves the way for the EU to have the most comprehensive system of automatic information exchange in the world.
For more information see the press release the frequently asked questions, the proposal (COM/2013/348), and Commissioner Šemeta's speech.
Pour en savoir plus, voir le communiqué de presse (IP/13/530), les questions-réponses (MEMO/13/533), la proposition (COM/2013/348) et le discours du Commissaire Šemeta.
Tax identification numbers (TIN)
8 December 2012 Most EU countries use Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) to identify taxpayers and facilitate the administration of their national tax affairs. TINs are also useful for identifying taxpayers who invest in other EU countries and are more reliable than other identifiers such as name and address.
In order to facilitate the work of all stakeholders, the European Commission has launched a cooperative project whereby information about TINs that Member States choose to publish is available in one single Internet page including:
- General information about TINs by country (when the Member State's tax administration has chosen to publish this information): descriptions of the structure and specificities of the national TIN, examples of official documents showing the TINs, national websites and contact points.
- An online check module which allows checking the TIN syntax (i.e. algorithm) or, if not available, the TIN structure.
Fight against tax fraud and tax evasion
UBS data CD bought for 3.5 million euros by German authorities
4 December 2012 - (Reuters) - German clients of Swiss bank UBS evaded around 204 million euros in taxes, the prosecutors' office in Bochum said on Tuesday.
The undeclared funds were revealed after a data CD bought for 3.5 million euros by authorities in North-Rhine Westphalia was evaluated, uncovering data on investments worth more than 3.5 billion Swiss francs (2.3 billion pounds).
It was unclear how much of this was not declared to the German tax man, the Bochum prosecutor said, adding that an initial estimate showed clients had stashed assets and profits equivalent to 204 million euros in unpaid taxes at UBS.
"As part of the investigation we are looking at whether bank employees helped clients evade taxes," the prosecutor said.
