well educated staff, doctors and hospitals to keep people healthy,

good roads to go to meetings and home to their families,

courts that protect contracts and land,

and the police and fire brigade, who keep them from harm.

What pays for all of these services?

It´s tax!

However...

many of these wealthy individuals and corporations

don't want to pay for the services that they benefit from.

So they hide their money in tax havens,

where their loot is protected by a wall of secrecy

and where laws and regulations are always 'up for discussion'.

Who cares?

Well, in wealthier countries, everyone else

has to contribute more. Whilst public services are cut.

Is this ringing a bell?

In developing countries it's worse. Resources are looted

and they're forced to rely on aid instead of their own taxes.

And for every dollar of aid that goes in, ten dollars in dirty money flows out.

Guess where the money ends up...

Tax havens!

Half the world's trade passes through them.

They're hiding trillions of dollars

on behalf of criminals, dictators, wealthy individuals and multinationals.

And there's a whole lot more going on, too.
