Rich Indians love to park their wealth offshore, away from the public glare and the scrutiny of Income Tax Department. The Panama Papers Leak is testimony to this fact. Now the world knows how Panama was used by some very influential names across the globe to stash unknown millions. Well, Panama isn't the only tax havens the rich use to hide assets.
Before the leaks, an estimated $1 trillion of Indian “black” money was believed to be stashed abroad, according to government’s estimates. It was more than India’s annual GDP. Moreover, only 3% of the population, World Bank estimates show, was actually paying taxes in our country.
