Question
For which of the following reasons, offshore financial
centers have faced criticism?Solution
Offshore financial centers: Offshore financial centers (OFCs) are jurisdictions that provide tax and regulatory advantages to businesses and individuals. These are centres that are primarily tax havens for wealth management and global tax management rather than providing the fully array of international financial services. Examples include the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands. These centers offer low taxes, minimal regulation, and strict secrecy laws that make them attractive to those seeking to reduce their tax burden or conceal their financial activities. However, OFCs have faced criticism for facilitating tax evasion and money laundering.
