Unknown Tax Havens | Finance Documentary

This documentary is EXCELLENT! Very well produced.

Honestly, Chapeau! One of the best docs I have seen in 2024. Very informative and well put together.

It's a really informative documentary. It makes you wonder why Governments don't close or clap the system. It clearly demonstrates That Taxes are for the Poor, not for the rich. It makes me wonder about the double standards of Governments and Lawmakers in our countries.

Very informative documentary !!

In many countries, owning something for some time and selling a used item is tax-free? If it increases in value, it's good, but it can also lose value? or be completely destroyed? Was the purchase also made for money after paying taxes? and if not, is it the bank's fault for allowing the transfer? Is it the rich people's fault for buying and owning expensive thing?

Yeeess, sir! That is what I meant back in 2013-2014... I needed to know for the future as a productive protected artist. United States of America

Excellent reposting

Aside from the obvious risk of laundering proceeds of crime or sanctioned individuals, for more law abiding stakeholders, it seems like there is a philosophical battle between the desire of investors to be able to trade art assets primarily as investment vehicles - where one would hope to incur almost negligible purchase taxes (as is the case for publicly traded stocks), and tax authorities and media who would like art to be treated as an ordinary consumer good (and therefore taxed heavily at purchase with customs and VAT etc). Paying those kinds of purchasing taxes (as well as the obvious tax on capital gains at sale) thoroughly diminishes any investment potential for the market, so it is up to countries to determine, do they want to destroy the art market for investment purposes and insist that art should only be used for adornment and appreciation by owners. It is quite a political problem and opinion will differ highly depending on one’s interest in the market itself.

Maybe they even keep money there , old gold coins et. How they can check what is in secure packed box coming in? Warehouse check for safety but not moral or quality questions I guess?)

This documentary proves that decentralisation is absolutely needed in todays societies, just because one part of region don’t agree with another let’s do that and this lol

I would be very concerned that these freeports are being used to store items that are more sinister than simple artwork and money.

12:13 chewy as an early warning system is a bad logistics idea, bar stools may be saner

Very interesting, however as far as art goes, is it not recognised that modern art serves just as a vehicle for money laundering and bribes? It would be interesting to research it from this angle in the context to free ports.

Really? The Swiss are judging others for hiding art?

It’s crazy how open they are with their tax evasion

Of course people involved and profiting will say nothing is wrong with this.

38:04 Appropriate attitude because every three hours infants cry, ideally media devolves into entertainment for new parents but at the same time boomerang potential as countries reduce, so Russia healthy for Europe

All I see is a bunch of nosey people. If people earn their money they shouldn't have to hide their things in the first place with these ridiculous taxes. I don't blame the rich one bit for exploiting loopholes.

The number 3

And governments know and let it happen !!
