Abstract (EN)

The end of tax havens is often used as it addresses the issue of the financial arrangements using one or more offshore companies. Specialists prefer country or area tax advantageous or privileged. Some people distinguish two categories of tax-friendly territories. The term 'zone to privileged taxation' is often used as a euphemism referring to countries such as the Belgium, the Ireland, the Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Tunisia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, inter alia, that are considered to be "tax havens" Andorra, Jersey and Guernsey, Gibraltar, the Liechtenstein, Anguilla, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Panama, etc. It is a classification pretty vague, relative, intaglio, separately classifying the areas where tax is relatively low, compared to the France or the Germany.The difficulties posed by this classification are numerous and have highlighted the lack of such reasoning, often journalistic. The concept of tax haven has only a relative value, hence the difficulty to identify a single, universal definition characterizing this phenomenon. It is necessary to use a definition based on a number of criteria. Also, generally, tax havens are characterized by an absence or low taxation of capital income, and transactions, which is usually the motivation of their use. These tax benefits are not necessarily all of the people who will establish their home: the income tax regime can differ for the physical and legal persons, residents and non-residents. Jersey taxation for example advantage especially for non-resident companies; In contrast, Monaco is a tax haven for people.However, the definition of areas of taxation in French law also limits the use of this concept. French law therefore uses a single expression, which the main determining criterion is mathematical. It is a definition encompassing all commonly used concepts: tax haven, offshore Center, etc. It is this definition that we will retain in our study areas in privileged taxation. Tax optimization, which it is difficult to give a real definition, could be defined as the implementation by a taxpayer of lawful means to reduce its tax base or the weight of its tax. It is a common and quite legal financial strategy. Tax fraud and tax evasion as they are, for the first intentional transgression of the tax regulations to minimize its tax by various techniques (voluntary omission of declaration, minorazation).Privileged tax areas have potential for externalities that can serve the cause of economic efficiency. The proper conduct of the business areas in privileged taxation can stimulate investment and complementary business in other countries. Thats what we gather under the expression "economic backup." Our problem will therefore be as follows: is it possible to imagine a financing package of tax optimization based partly in a privileged but taxation area whose primary objective is the realization of an investment in the service of the economy of the country of origin, and therefore outside the scope of tax evasion? In the first part, we tacherons to define the scope of the possible (first part: fixtures and their suppression), engaging first to different assemblies and types of tax structures (title I), then to the French and European instruments to combat tax evasion . In a second part, we will study the existing sanctions and will demonstrate that an Assembly whose purpose is not only tax allows to counteract part II: the main sanctions and a possible countermeasure).
