Illinois Could Recover $1.3 Billion Lost To Corporate Tax Loopholes
By Illinois PIRG
Every year, corporations use complicated schemes to shift U.S. earnings to subsidiaries in offshore tax havens which helps them dodge both state and federal taxes. Reforms to end tax dodging in Illinois would reduce revenue loss by $1.3 billion, according to a new report called "A Simple Fix for a $17 Billion Loophole," released Tuesday by the Illinois PIRG Education Fund.
"When multinational businesses dodge millions in Illinois taxes, that money doesn't come out of a hat. It means either means we have less money for public priorities like education or other taxpayers end up footing the bill," said Abe Scarr, Illinois PIRG Education Fund director. "Luckily, there are ways for Illinois to even the playing field, and recover more than $1.3 billion for critical services without raising rates."
