Bill Summary
Relative to closing off-shore tax haven loopholes. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill aims to close off-shore tax haven loopholes by amending Section 32B of Chapter 63 of the General Laws. It empowers the commissioner to establish a list of tax haven jurisdictions, defined as those with no or nominal effective tax, inadequate information exchange with other governments, and lacking transparency in their tax regimes. The bill excludes jurisdictions that have a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. The commissioner must submit the list of tax haven jurisdictions to the legislature and make it publicly available on a biennial basis.
