Journal of Money Laundering Control, 2006, vol. 9, issue 4, 365-372

Abstract: Purpose - The aim of this research paper is to discuss the crucial difference between financial offshores and fiscal offshores. Design/methodology/approach - The paper combines narrative with argument and analysis. Findings - It is shown that the decision of a few countries and territories to adopt lax financial regulation do not coincide with those that institute competitive taxation policies. From a methodological point of view, the classic intuition of Becker is intertwined with the new political economy approach, in order to review and comment on empirical tests. Originality/value - The paper suggests common guidelines for the design of international policy against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
