Countries are losing almost half a trillion dollars through tax abuse by multinationals and the super-rich, enough to fully vaccinate the global population against Covid-19 three times over, a report has said.
Research by tax campaigners found that estimated losses had risen from
$427bn last year to $483bn (£359bn) in 2021, with the UK alone responsible for almost 40% of the total.
Britain facilitates abuse and evasion through a network made up of British overseas territories and the City of London, the report said.
