These were the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Anguilla.

The higher the score, the more a jurisdiction enables companies to abuse tax laws.

the higher the score, the more a country enables tax abuse

Supplementary notes

The corporate tax haven index ranks countries by first giving each country’s tax and financial systems a score based on how intensely they’ve been programmed to enable corporations to abuse tax. The more a country’s laws and policies program a country’s tax and financial systems to enable corporate tax abuse, the higher a corporate tax haven score a country gets.

Countries’ corporate tax haven scores are scored across 20 indicators, each composed of several sub-indicators that look at the presence or absence of specific laws and policies, as well as specific combinations of laws and policies, that enable corporate tax abuse.
