“…The above graph indicates the amount of tax liability imposed on companies operating in EU countries (Fallan & Fallan, 2019). The curve has dropped to zero, because as we have already indicated that income tax rate for companies registered in tax havens is 0% (Flavin & Montgomery, 2019). As can be seen, tax liabilities are different, but every company that wants maximum profit, strives to minimize its obligations to the state.…”

By looking at the most famous tax havens today, we turn our attention to research that will show the real problems and impact of tax havens on tax evasion. For the mentioned research, we will use a comparative analysis in which the tax system of the EU countries and the countries of tax havens will be included. In all modern countries, personal and corporate income tax are one of the safest sources of state budget revenue. The most significant direct taxes are personal income tax (tax) and corporate income tax.

“…Corruption information sources can influence people’ perception of corruption (Flavin and Montgomery, 2020; Rizzica and Tonello, 2020). Flavin and Montgomery (2020) point out that in free press countries, media exposure is related to the perception of corruption, as media informs the public regarding misconduct and corruption of officials. However, the perception of corruption could be influenced by the content and the repeated news coverage, as news media may report corruption cases as they favor (Park and Lee, 2017) and make people less aware of corruption in real life via repeating reporting cases (de Lancer Julnes and Villoria, 2014).…”

Purpose Corruption perception is essential to study because it can shape people’s attitudes toward the government. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to address this key question: what factors are associated with a non-expert’s judgment of whether Canada is corrupt? Design/methodology/approach This study uses the World Value Survey conducted in Canada in October 2020. This survey is based on a nationally representative sample of a cross-section of adult Canadian residents, including Canadian citizens and permanent residents and those who are neither Canadian citizens nor permanent residents. Findings Based on this study, some conclusions can be made. First, people accessing corruption news from the traditional news media are less likely than those receiving information from the new media to perceive the state (in this case, Canada) as corrupt. Second, people who have less confidence in public institutions are more likely to perceive a country as corrupt. Third, people who participate in electoral and non-electoral forms of political participation are more likely to perceive the state and its public officials as corrupt. Fourth, regardless of which political party is in power, individuals who lean right politically are more likely than those on the left to perceive the state as corrupt. Finally, immigrants are less likely than those born in Canada to perceive the state as corrupt. This work enriches the literature on the substantive understanding of the factors associated with corruption perception. Originality/value Studies investigating factors associated with public perception of corruption tend to focus on developing countries. The current study contributes to filling this gap in knowledge by examining correlates of corruption perception in Canada. As a result, this study contributes to the literature on factors associated with corruption perception, especially in the developed country context.

“…Press freedom refers to the degree of autonomy that each media organization and each person has over media content (Nasution, 2019). Besides, freedom of the press can also be defined as media freedom, freedom for disseminating information, and freedom from government interference (Flavin & Montgomery, 2020). This freedom is essential for media to protect exempt public expression.…”

This study investigates the effects of direct democracy and freedom of the press on constitutional and political awareness. For the data collection, we employed an online questionnaire distributed to 400 college students selected proportionally from six universities in East Java, Indonesia. Further, partial least square (PLS) was used to analyze the obtained data (392 or 90%). Our finding suggested that direct democracy and freedom of the press have significant and immediate effects on constitutional awareness, but they do not affect constitutional awareness. Besides, direct democracy and press freedom significantly and indirectly affect constitutional awareness through political awareness. This finding indicates that the enhancement of society's constitutional awareness can be completed by improving press freedom and the society’s direct democracy and political awareness.
