 About the Doc

 It’s a fact of life that no one likes to pay taxes. However, unlike most of us, many large Canadian corporations pay little or no taxes at all. Up to $80-billion leaves Canada every year untaxed. It’s not illegal; it’s just a fact of business. But it does deprive the Canadian government of billions of dollars a year -- enough to wipe out the deficit in one fell swoop. This docum...entary reveals the huge role Canada has played in the totally legal tax evasion practiced by corporations around the world; how the banking system in the Cayman Islands was set up by Canadians; how other Caribbean countries like Barbados court wealthy Canadians with state-sponsored low tax schemes; and how Canadian tax lawyers are some of the best in the world at sheltering their clients’ money. "The Great Canadian Tax Dodge" is the product of a three-year investigation.
