Tax Havens and Mining Companies: The Canadian Connection
This week will see the launch of a new book called Imperial Canada Inc.
It sets out to ask a simple question: why is Canada home to more than 70% of the world’s mining companies?
The authors of Imperial Canada Inc., respected scholars in their fields, meticulously research four factors that contribute to the answer to this question: Quebec’s and Ontario’s mining codes; the history of the Toronto Stock Exchange; Canada’s involvement with Caribbean tax havens; and, finally, Canada’s official role of promoting itself to international institutions governing the world’s mining sector.
