🚨Updated estimate: Multinational firms shifted $946Bn to tax havens in 2018🚨 That's almost 40% of multinational profits. Go to missingprofits.world to see how much your country win or lose in this game for profits Joint work with Thomas Damsgaard Tørsløv and Gabriel Zucman (1/5)

From 2015 to 2018 global profit shifting has increased by more than $300Bn. To our surprise the estimated amount of profits shifted to tax havens has remained remarkably constant at roughly 40% of multinational profits and 10% of global profits throughout 2015-2018. (4/5)

So glad this thread has gone viral. Jack's done some brilliant research here. And is the first person to note that whilst basics have risen over 140%, high-end ready meals have stayed the same? Thus disproportionately affecting low-income families.

This type of deliberate misinformation is only going to get worse and worse until even family and friends are asking you about "the costs" of net zero over drinks. Great thread here from Simon Evans 👇👀👏

Well, well, well. If it isn't the people who'd spent the past 20 years telling us not to have children if we couldn't afford them...
