In a four-part investigation published in August 2016, Intercept reporters Lee Fang and Jon Schwarz uncovered evidence proving for the first time that foreign money was being funneled into U.S. elections after the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United. They found that a Chinese citizen directed the U.S. corporation he controlled to donate $1.3 million to a super PAC supporting Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Corporate Tax Havens Stiff Taxpayers by $110B A Year

Last year alone, the U.S. Treasury and state governments lost roughly $110 billion in tax revenues after major corporations funneled their cash through accounts in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and other offshore tax havens, according to figures compiled by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG).

Under current law, U.S. corporations are allowed to defer or delay paying federal income taxes on overseas profits to avoid a federal corporate tax rate of as much as 35 percent until this money is “repatriated” or brought back into the United States.

At least 362 companies, making up 72 percent of the Fortune 500, maintained subsidiaries in tax haven jurisdictions as of 2013.

Among the biggest beneficiaries, according to the PIRG analysis:

• Pfizer, the world’s largest drug manufacturer, paid no U.S. income taxes between 2010 and 2012 despite earning $43 billion throughout the globe. Pfizer actually received more than $2 billion in federal tax refunds.

• Microsoft maintains five tax haven subsidies and kept $92.9 billion overseas in 2014. By taking advantage of the federal tax law, Microsoft averted an additional $29.6 billion in taxes.

• Citigroup stashed $43.8 billion in offshore jurisdictions in 2014, saving itself $11.6 billion of additional taxes.
