Tax avoidance: Canadian companies transferred $120B to Luxembourg, study says

The research published today by IRIS says 59 Canadian companies — including 33 headquartered in Quebec — transferred some $119.8 billion in net profits to the European low-tax country over a period of about 10 years.

The study notes that tax avoidance strategies aren't illegal but violate the"spirit" of the law because they permit companies to pay ultra-low taxes in jurisdictions other than where the majority of their economic activities occur.
