There are several ethical considerations associated with offshore tax and legal structures, including:
- Tax avoidance: Offshore tax and legal structures may be perceived as enabling tax avoidance, as they can be used to minimize tax liability by shifting income or assets to lower-tax jurisdictions. This can lead to criticism that individuals and businesses using offshore structures are not paying their fair share of taxes.
- Lack of transparency: Offshore tax and legal structures can also be associated with a lack of transparency, as they may be structured in ways that make it difficult for tax authorities and the public to understand the ownership and control of assets and income.
- Facilitation of illegal activities: Offshore tax and legal structures can also be associated with the facilitation of illegal activities, such as tax evasion, money laundering, and corruption, as they can provide a way for individuals and organizations to keep their assets and income beyond the reach of the law.
- Inequality: Offshore tax and legal structures can also contribute to inequality, as they can be used by wealthy individuals and corporations to minimize their tax liability, while less wealthy individuals are unable to take advantage of these structures and are left paying a higher proportion of their income in taxes.
