&lt;em&gt;IMF study says investments in empty corporate shells in these nations by companies&#039; hints at tax evasion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;In a recently released paper, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has drawn the world&amp;rsquo;s attention to the rising menace of &amp;lsquo;Phantom foreign direct investment (FDI)&amp;rsquo;, defined as investment flows that pass through empty corporate shells that have no real business activity, with the intention to avoid paying taxes in their host countries. IMF&amp;rsquo;s paper states that just two tax havens &amp;ndash; Luxembourg and the Netherlands &amp;ndash; host more than half of the world&amp;rsquo;s $15 trillion phantom FDI. Global FDI is estimated to be around $40 trillion in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The paper states, &amp;ldquo;Interestingly, a few well-known tax havens host the vast majority of the world&amp;rsquo;s phantom FDI. Luxembourg and the Netherlands host nearly half. And when you add Hong Kong SAR, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Singapore, the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Ireland, and Mauritius to the list, these 10 economies host more than 85 per cent of all phantom investments.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, meanwhile, is a major FDI recipient from these phantom destinations. In the first quarter of 2019-20, the country received $11 billion from three phantom destinations &amp;ndash; Singapore, the Netherlands and Mauritius (See graphic). FDI from these nations accounted for 69 per cent of all inflows into the country. Singapore was the biggest conduit, with almost $5 billion, followed closely by Mauritius ($4.7 billion) in FDI flowing from these nations to India. In 2018-19, Singapore and Mauritius channelled $16 billion and $8 billion into India, while the Netherlands contributed to another $4 billion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That&amp;rsquo;s almost two-thirds of India&amp;rsquo;s $44 billion FDI received during that year.&lt;br /&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-Business Standard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;IMF study says investments in empty corporate shells in these nations by companies&#039; hints at tax evasion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;In a recently released paper, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has drawn the world&amp;rsquo;s attention to the rising menace of &amp;lsquo;Phantom foreign direct investment (FDI)&amp;rsquo;, defined as investment flows that pass through empty corporate shells that have no real business activity, with the intention to avoid paying taxes in their host countries. IMF&amp;rsquo;s paper states that just two tax havens &amp;ndash; Luxembourg and the Netherlands &amp;ndash; host more than half of the world&amp;rsquo;s $15 trillion phantom FDI. Global FDI is estimated to be around $40 trillion in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The paper states, &amp;ldquo;Interestingly, a few well-known tax havens host the vast majority of the world&amp;rsquo;s phantom FDI. Luxembourg and the Netherlands host nearly half. And when you add Hong Kong SAR, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Singapore, the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Ireland, and Mauritius to the list, these 10 economies host more than 85 per cent of all phantom investments.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India, meanwhile, is a major FDI recipient from these phantom destinations. In the first quarter of 2019-20, the country received $11 billion from three phantom destinations &amp;ndash; Singapore, the Netherlands and Mauritius (See graphic). FDI from these nations accounted for 69 per cent of all inflows into the country. Singapore was the biggest conduit, with almost $5 billion, followed closely by Mauritius ($4.7 billion) in FDI flowing from these nations to India. In 2018-19, Singapore and Mauritius channelled $16 billion and $8 billion into India, while the Netherlands contributed to another $4 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s almost two-thirds of India&amp;rsquo;s $44 billion FDI received during that year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/imf-s-phantom-fdi-destinations-and-the-india-connection-119091100797_1.html?fbclid=IwAR2NFqp3Jizkta9F40sHEH5yWKD030hEhJPsEgDoFKAiQVwZwu8716hdZz0&quot; title=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/imf-s-phantom-fdi-destinations-and-the-india-connection-119091100797_1.html?fbclid=IwAR2NFqp3Jizkta9F40sHEH5yWKD030hEhJPsEgDoFKAiQVwZwu8716hdZz0&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

IMF's 'Phantom FDI' destinations and the India connection -Sai Manish

-Business Standard IMF study says investments in empty corporate shells in these nations by companies' hints at tax evasion New Delhi: In a recently released paper, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has drawn the world’s attention to the rising menace of ‘Phantom foreign direct investment (FDI)’, defined as investment flows that pass through empty corporate shells that have no real business activity, with the intention to avoid paying taxes in their host countries. IMF’s paper states that just two tax havens – Luxembourg and the Netherlands – host more than half of the world’s $15 trillion phantom FDI. Global FDI is estimated to be around $40 trillion in 2017. The paper states, “Interestingly, a few well-known tax havens host the vast majority of the world’s phantom FDI. Luxembourg and the Netherlands host nearly half. And when you add Hong Kong SAR, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Singapore, the Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Ireland, and Mauritius to the list, these 10 economies host more than 85 per cent of all phantom investments.” India, meanwhile, is a major FDI recipient from these phantom destinations. In the first quarter of 2019-20, the country received $11 billion from three phantom destinations – Singapore, the Netherlands and Mauritius (See graphic). FDI from these nations accounted for 69 per cent of all inflows into the country. Singapore was the biggest conduit, with almost $5 billion, followed closely by Mauritius ($4.7 billion) in FDI flowing from these nations to India. In 2018-19, Singapore and Mauritius channelled $16 billion and $8 billion into India, while the Netherlands contributed to another $4 billion. That’s almost two-thirds of India’s $44 billion FDI received during that year. Please click here to read more.
