A another Tax Fraud like Panama Papers again

And because its legal, nothing will be done per usual.

Even Criminals, Queen Elizabeth, Soros(the Troublemaker), Mafiosos are involved

The joys of "tax optimization", as they so love to call it. The 1% evade, the 99% left pay for them. Sounds fair alright.

In fairness to the queen, she is tax exempt and still pays taxes. I doubt she even knows what her money is being spent on, more likely that an agency is doing investment for her and have different ways of doing it.

It's a non-story riding on people's lack of financial and investing knowledge. 

 

And on the topic of the Queen,

Was the Queen involved in the Paradise Papers leak? Yes.

 

Does this implicate her in anything? No. Capital gains tax was paid, and although the Queen isn't legally required to pay capital gains tax she has always done so voluntarily. 

 

Do your parents have a pension or any investment funds? Yes? They likely have money in offshore accounts / comprising of foreign funds too.

Surprised our notable members of the public from Russia are out of the picture. Maybe we are broke, can't even invest in offshore accounts no more.

I wouldn't call it a non-story. Just for France, it's been 20 billions euros that have been tax evaded. It's 20 billions lacking in the country's vaults, and 20 billions we have to pay for, which equals to roughly 307 euros per inhabitant. Dunno about you, but it feels pretty outraging that the most wealthy get their taxes paid by the poorest.

We had a special unit in Russia called the Tax Police Service. It was the only law enforcement body here that completely financed itself, maintained nearly 100% percent clearance rate and managed its own funding (as a result the tax cops were paid quite well for Russian standards and rarely had the temptation to take bribes). People recall it was one of the most feared powers back in the day.

 

When Putin came, guess what he did? Established a "National Tax Police Day" and disbanded the service three years after he was elected. Guess wasn't needed no more huh.
