Right, the CRA will slam all the little people while allowing the elite to skate It is how Canada rolls.

David Raymond Amos

@Bill Davis I have a letter from Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue that affirms your reasoning

---------- Original message ----------
From: "Min.Mail / Courrier.Min (CRA/ARC)"

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: David Raymond Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:

Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes, and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.

"On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the Panama Papers leaks."

"The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution, court fines, and jail time."

David Raymond Amos

@Gary McCaig Amazing how you 3 dudes skipped over my comment like it wasn't there even though if was irrefutable proof of an an important email to from the boss of the CRA about the very topic of this article

David Raymond Amos

@JimWBrennan "In the age of Internet and smartphones everyone has broadcast capabilities. We have the power to tune out the drivel and the corporate messages and tune in the community using the very same technology"

FYI last week I was talking too two well known journalists within the press gallery in Ottawa (One worked for CBC and both of them knew me) I asked the very busy fellas a simple question and both had the same response. I asked if they read the comment sections of their articles. They said they could not be bothered (Who cares about what the little people think when even the media does not?)

Anyway I just laughed and told them the snobby dudes they really should because I was talking about them and blogging about it as well.

Perhaps you should read all my comments in this article They have already been blogged particularly the ones that were blocked by CBC

Gerald Landry

@David Raymond Amos
Honourable of you to write the Regulators about such a serious issue that cripples all Canadians defrauded of Public Services.

@David Raymond Amos
My girlfriend always states, "the Internet will bring Us down". I'll change that to the "Internet will bring TheM down". Good work.

David Raymond Amos

@Gerald Landry Thank you for the kind words sir and say hey to your lady friend for me

Jeff Taylor

Wow, this'll be interesting.

One of the first things the Liberals did in 2016, was to prohibit the CRA from investigating KPMG and the Panama papers scheme.

David Raymond Amos

@Jeff Taylor I wonder if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau anyone else recalls why I sued Her Majesty the Queen while I was running in the election of the 42nd Parliament?

@William Roberts "Good luck getting independents elected. They don't have the financial or media support."
In the age of Internet and smartphones everyone has broadcast capabilities. We have the power to tune out the drivel and the corporate messages and tune in the community using the very same technology. No need for expensive national advertising, just do it community by community. Our freedom is at stake, we should probably do something greater than criticize others for the way they victimize us. By being willing victims now, the next group will be unwilling victims. We don't have to be victims at all, we just have to get off the couch and get independents on the ballot. Every community has underutilized communications channels: markets, halls, restaurants, bars, rinks, sports fields, lampposts, etcetera.
Our complacency is our biggest enemy. We have all the tools we need, we just have to use them before they are taken away by those we empower. It should be vastly more interesting and entertaining than another evening of corporate media.

@JimWBrennan I have lived through what you just wrote about while running as a an Independent in 5 elections thus far.

Perhaps you should scroll up in this thread and read the comment of mine that Che just buried for political reasons?

David Raymond Amos

@JimWBrennan I was truly amazing that CBC just blocked my reply to you sir.

JimWBrennan

@William Roberts " they would have to take the buy outs to get anything done"
Not supporting all party policies would be an adequate start for getting things done. Not being yet another voice for the parties would be a step to a better balanced parliament.
We're stuck in a Canadian snow drift. It will take time to work our way out.

David Raymond Amos

@JimWBrennan Whereas CBC is now blocking me for political reasons Perhaps we should talk? Google my name you will find my phone number if you are interested.

David Raymond Amos @JimWBrennan Snow drift is a understatement CBC has me buried under a Polar Icecap but it melting because of all the methane being spewed by politicians in Washington Ottawa and the EU etc

No Joke See if you can find me mentioned in the last election or four others before that

Now now people...settle down...I'm sure the Honourable Revenue Minister Dianne Lebouthillier and the Canada Revenue Agency have everything under control and will be addressing this matter in the same manner that they handled the Panama Papers revelation (i.e. they will do absolutely nothing except make meaningless rhetorical comments)

David Raymond Amos

@Ralph Fiennes Methinks its a classic circlejerk embellished with meaningless rhetoric meanwhile the CRA hires KPMG people and, more importantly, KPMG hires 'ex' CRA people. Go Figure why I am suing the Crown

John Cookshaw

"Appropriate Action", this means the CRA is going after those that cannot afford lawyers or don't qualify to use tax shelters.

David Raymond Amos

@John Cookshaw "Appropriate Action", this means the CRA is going after those that cannot afford lawyers "

Sounds to me like standard operating procedure ofr questionable law enforcement authorities in every country around the world. Why would anyone presume that our CRA would be any more ethical or less evil?

Jamie Taylor

Hey CBC, why not publish the 3300 names and let us decide who's notable?

You have the list, so publish it!!

This is how citizens/consumers become empowered.

Where our government will not punish them for their criminality and/or their disloyalty to Canadians, we can choose NOT to do business with them... an effective and appropriate way to punish them, i think.

Publish the names CBC!!!

George William

@Bob Lashram ..CRA won't investigate anyone who can afford their own lawyers.

David Raymond Amos

@Bob Lashram Watch me take on the CRA and their KPMG pals in short order in Federal Court

Marty Lee

Don't hold your breath on this one...The CRA seems to have two sets of laws:

-one set of laws for the rich, connected and entitled
and
-one set of laws for the rest of us, the average, hardworking Canadians...

Something has to change....

David Raymond Amos

@Marty Lee Prime Minister Trudeau "The Younger" and his minions will need a lot of luck trying to convince anyone that his party and the CRA have any semblance of integrity after the pounding the press has been giving them lately

Hell as far as the CRA goes I am still trying to report to them that a man has been dead for quite some time and that they are being ripped off some of their tax money. The noname nomind CRA and Service Canada employees I do manage to talk to quite simply don't care...

Pete Shartin

Harper brought in legislation to prevent this sort of thing

trudeau immediately removed it , now we know why

David Raymond Amos

@Pete Shartin Harper was no better that Trudeau everybody knows that

Mick Nuggets

Good for them. Where did the CBC place the call? KPMG? That's where all the CRA brass ends up councilling rich clients how to evade the tax regime they themselves designed. Speaking of which what is going on with the KPMG investigation? Seems to have fallen off the radar. If you believe anything out of the CRA you've not been paying attention. Plus they're very busy harassing wait staff, hot dog vendors and bike couriers.

Neel Kamal

We wonder if one could check the finances of the people who sit on CBC's Board of Governors?

David Raymond Amos

@Mick Nuggets FYI I called CBC first thing yesterday and this morning I called four offices of the Appleby Law Firm and stuck my hand out to them (I contacted Bermuda first and left a message for Ms Marsh) Not one of the lawyers called back just like the dudes from Panama. Surprised? Not I.

More importantly I did have a long and decent conversation with a very nice lady who works for Sueddeutsche Zeitung the German newspaper that apparently broke this story. She promised to try hard to have her people call me back. Should I hold my breath or just sue the Queen again? Survey says?

The Bronfman/Trudeau connection goes way back,several decades back. Wealthy supporter of Papa and now son. Collusion runs deep in the Quebec political menage.

David Raymond Amos

@John Milkovic Trust that CBC knows more about such topics than you and I put together. However I remember talking to Harvey Cashore in 2015 while Trudeau and I were candidates in the Federal Election and I had already filed my first lawsuit in Federal Court I even sent Cashore and his cohorts emails about KPMG etc about matters that they did not know about and they quite simply didn't care. Go Figure why Cashore considered me rude.

Zavie Johnston

My fellow Canadians;
1) We can explain
2) It's not what it looks like

David Raymond Amos

@Charles Jones I said a lot about Ron Ambrose and her boss Harper actions against me when I was running for Parliament in 2015 and suing the Crown and arguing Peter MacKay's many minions in Federal Court at the same time. Once Morneau and his boss were sworn in they quickly proved to me in no uncertain terms that they supported Harper and Ambrose and were against me as well.

@Rob Lehtisaari Methinks you should go to the website of the Federal Court of Canada and query the dockets of both courts with my name in order to reach an understanding as to why the Liberals are no better than the Conservatives. After all the public record is the PUBLIC record

McKenzie Liam (McLiberal)

As long as we don't close the loopholes in the tax code the wealthy Canadians and foreigners will avoid paying their fair share of taxes. The solution is not to blame this or that person but to actually ask the government to close the loopholes.

People who are earning over $200,000 per year are the people who are complaining about the tax code reforms that the Liberal government wants to push forward and they are trying whatever they can to change the story from tax reform to government hypocrisy and use it to prevent the reform.

Here is the fact:
if your annual household income is over $200,000 you are in the top 1% category not middle class

Charles Jones

@McKenzie Liam (McLiberal)

The truth is, the tax changes are affecting high earning middle class Canadians and not touching well connected ultra-rich people like Trudeau, Morneau and now Bronfman and others. If you're OK with that kind of hypocrisy, God love ya. I'm sickened by it.

Rob Lehtisaari

@McKenzie Liam (McLiberal)

I agree with everything you said, and was surprised that the fact is that making over 190k per year does put said Canadians in the top 1% bracket.

Minimum income to be in the top ... According to the 2011 survey, there were 272,600 Canadians who had incomes of at least $191,100 in 2010. That hefty number was the cutoff to make it into the top one per cent of Canadian income earners.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/who-are-canada-s-top-1-1.1703321

Charles Jones

@Rob Lehtisaari

And they paid on average 151,900 in tax (2013 numbers, first one that popped up). how much did YOU pay to help prop up the system Rob?

This shows that we need a major comprehensive tax reform that would close all the loopholes that wealthy Canadians and foreigners are using to avoid paying taxes while average Canadians whose sole income are their payroll are paying more than their fair share of taxes.

This is beyond political stripes. No point name calling your most hated political leader or their associates. They are all part of that same culture of the shamelessly wealthy. An international club of money gamesmanship funded by the working people of all nations. Time to get out the pitchforks and end the game. Elect politicians who are there for the working people and the environment, who have the guts to stand up with you against the 1% and rid the planet of deliberate and growing inequality.

Funny how the Chretien's, Paul Martin's and Trudeau's of the world are all about the "social justice", "anti-1%" and "Fairness" agenda making you and me pay our "fair share" in local taxes... meanwhile, they are busy hiding their assets in "offshore" accounts to protect themselves from their own taxes! Lovely... just lovely... Liberal voters keep getting duped into spending more and getting less...

Eugene Eklund

@Simon McVeigh
Noticed you missed Mulroney in your tirade.

Simon McVeigh

@Eugene Eklund ... I figured the "what about Mulroney" and Conservaticves comments would come about. The difference with conservatives is, they don't try to text you to death. Mulroney's investments were his own. Liberals like to take more of our tax money on the pretence they're doing something noble with it, but in the end they hide their taxes offshore because they don't like paying them. It's a double standard.

Mike Robinson

What's really disturbing is that the people of Canada continue to view and take part in this system we call democracy when it's all just a mirage. The bureaucratic system we know as government is not democratic. It is a control system. There are 3 parts to it. Taxation, the main part, and the two federally-controlled brethren, banking and telecom. The system of taxation has been made deliberately complex by government so that the low-hanging fruit - that's you and I, gets picked easily - and the wealthy are able to hide their assets and keep their money. This is all by design. If you tried hiding your assets you'd go to prison, for a very long time. How's THAT for a voluntary tax system. What they are doing isn't criminal, though it should be. What they are doing is perfectly legal, and THAT is the problem.

There is only one solution, and it isn't an election or a change of party. Unfortunately, the government of Canada views the solution as sedition and imprisons participants.

Linda Roussy

@Friday Jones

Every one of us looks for tax breaks...it is only a problem if it is a criminal offense. Experts find all the loop holes they can....most of us don't have the money to try to protect.

@Linda Roussy

Funny, MY Financial Adviser/Planner never suggests to me any 'offshore tax havens'.
I guess either he is too honest or I am not '1% enough'.

Paul Douglas

My son forgot to file a $100 T-5 and paid a 20% penalty.
I have no doubt these multi millionaires will be held to a similar standard.

Christian Lopez

@Paul Douglas Usually the CRA looks for patterns where tax payers "forget" to file tax slips before they impose penalties.

David Raymond Amos

@Christian Lopez Good Luck trying to convince anyone that the CRA has any semblance of integrity

Hell I am still trying to report to them that a man has been dead for quite some time and that they are being ripped off of their tax money and the noname nomind CRA and Service Canada employees I do manage to talk to quite simply don't care. Methinks I will mention that issue in my lawsuit against the Feds

I think this info is actually illegal to publish just like it’s illegal to show tax returns

These are tax evaders, they siphon money out of the country without declaring it as earning and or assets, this does not help the people who are being screwed over by the CRA.

@Shirley Witt Your are correct. I have a letter from Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue that affirms your reasoning

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: motomaniac333@gmail.com

Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com

Dear Mr. Amos:

Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes, and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.

This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning, tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system, and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.

More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams, increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at promoters of abusive tax schemes.

On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the Panama Papers leaks.

These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal investigations where warranted, and better communication with taxpayers.

To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is increasing notifications and warnings through its communications products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants, and community groups so that they can become informed observers who can educate their clients.

The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution, court fines, and jail time.

Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total, the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million and 734 months of jail time.

When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming, and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts owed are considered.

More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these structures.

To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA employees involved in the case.

Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts of interests between their current duties and any subsequent employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada. Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in protecting the CRA’s integrity.

The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in disciplinary measures up to dismissal.

All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward for tips received.

The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on information the CRA received through the OTIP.

With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income. For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of $10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800 taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60 audits.

In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong relationships with the international community, which will help it refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.

The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts. Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts relating to large businesses and multinational companies.

But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and investments are underway.

Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/2017/03/
statement_from_thehonourabledianelebouthillierministerofnational.

Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have provided is helpful.

Sincerely,

The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

Horace Jenfers

John Podesta was Hillary's campaign manager and held 6 million worth of shares (75,000 shares) in a russian company called Joule Inc.This fact is far more idicative of russian collusion inside the Hillary Clinton Campaign than in any involvement Trumps campaign is alleged to have had.

Arlond Lynds

@Horace Jenfers
And us she were President we would probably be talking about that if true. At the moment we are discussing Trump being surrounded by a bunch of very suspect appointees.

Arlond Lynds

@Horace Jenfers
Not on topic, obviously inflated ups and what does that have to do with the DJ Trump administration? Is that suppose to make it better is true?

David Raymond Amos

@Arlond Lynds I disagree Horace is right on the topic you can't argue his point tis all.

Arlond Lynds

@David Raymond Amos
What point would that be? The story is about U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Hilary Clinton is not President, or hadn't you noticed?

David Raymond Amos

@Arlond Lynds I know what the topic of this article is and I know exactly who the players are. It appears that you don't that I am a whistle blower about financial crimes who is suing the Queen right now after having run for public office 5 times thus far in a sincere effort to expose the rampant worldwide public corruption involving politicians, police, bankers,accountants, lawyers and the Taxman to name but a few. .

Perhaps you should Google 3 names then call Trump's and Trudeau's lawyers if you disagree with me.

The 3 names are.

Wilbur Ross was busted yesterday for trying to conceal his own massive secret financial connections to Putin.

He’ll likely have to cut a deal himself – and he may be in a unique position to expose Trump’s own suspected financial ties to Putin.

Flynn is about to be charged if he can't make a deal. Things are looking up.

wilson abernathy

@Theo Crane - In March Flynn's lawyer said he wanted a deal and had a story to tell.

I don't think Mueller needs Flynn or he would have made a deal by now but it would be interesting testimony.

And now Mannafort connections to Russian mafia is also coming to light.

Ron Vollans

@wilson abernathy
Normally when someone wants to exchange information for a plea deal, the police agent will ask for a summary of what he has to tell. Then decide if there is enough substantial material to justify the deal. Obviously Flynn had nothing new or useful to offer.

David Raymond Amos

@wilson abernathy If you bother to go to Federal Court and read my dockets you will discover that Ralph Goodale and the RCMP have known since 2003 that it is Mueller who needs a clever lawyer.

David Rose

They all claim to have done nothing against the law; what about against ethical living? It's time all governments addressed these ambiguous rules, make it 100% clear so these cretins can't hide behind facades. Simply stop all off shore tax havens. If you are found counter to that, you forfeit and go to jail.

Meanwhile, they have a president that bragged during the election debate that he does not pay any taxes and hasn't done for years because he's so smart. Therefore, those that do pay taxes are stu-id and many of those worse still, voted for him.

David Raymond Amos

@David Gloag Why should one pay taxes if he legally does not have to?

@David Raymond Amos

It's not the taxes paying part. It's about having that income from that source and refusing to disclose the information multiple times when asked.

@Susan Smith I wrote legally did I not? I know of wha I speak and write. Try Googling me sometime. Never forget I sued three US Treasury Agents and a host of lawyer etc in 2002 for NOT collecting taxes from wealthy people who were cheating my family and the IRS as well. The first people the crook have to lie in estates and trust is the Taxman. When I report the fraud with whistle blower forms (Form 211) the Yankee Feds attacked me instead of the crooks.

Wilbur Ross says nothing improper about his business link to Putin's inner circle

Paradise Papers examined Ross's stake in Navigator, which derives revenue from Russia petrochem giant

CBC News Posted: Nov 06, 2017 10:34 AM ET

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is seen at the Conferederation of British Industry's annual conference in London on Monday, where he also took time in a broadcast interview to address details that have emerged in the Paradise Papers regarding investment holdings with Russian links. (Mary Turner/Reuters)

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said there was nothing improper about his investments in a shipping firm with significant ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle, a day after the Paradise Papers shone light on his investments.

Ross, a billionaire private equity investor, divested most of his business assets before joining President Donald Trump's cabinet in February, but kept a stake in the shipping firm, Navigator Holdings Ltd., which is incorporated in the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific. He is a former chairman of Navigator.

Offshore entities in which Ross and other investors hold a financial stake controlled 31.5 per cent of the company in 2016, according to Navigator's latest annual report. Among Navigator's largest customers, contributing over $68 million US ($87.3 million Cdn) in revenue since 2014, is the Moscow-based gas and petrochemicals company Sibur.

"The fact that [Sibur] happens to be called a Russian company does not mean there's any evil in it," Ross said in an interview with BBC, adding that Sibur is not under any U.S. sanctions.

What the Paradise Papers reveal about Trump’s inner circle, Russia connections2:25

Ross said the Navigator-Sibur business relationship predated when he joined Navigator's board and that there is no interlocking of board membership between the two companies.

Ross told Bloomberg TV in a separate interview that he has been thinking of selling his stake, "but that isn't because of this [report]."

Ross's connections emerge from an examination of public records and a leak of millions of offshore financial documents from the Bermuda law firm Appleby obtained by German newspaper

Sueddeutsche Zeitung. The so-called Paradise Papers were shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and its global network of media partners, including CBC/Radio-Canada and the Toronto Star in Canada.

'Politically charged interpretation'

Ross is not accused of any illegality, but Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut urged the Commerce Secretary's inspector general to open an investigation to ensure there were no improprieties.

"Secretary Ross's financial disclosures are like a Russian nesting doll, with blatant conflicts of interest carefully hidden within seemingly innocuous holding companies," Blumenthal said in a statement.

Separately, Sibur said on Monday it had no direct dealings with Ross and that its ties to its partners were not in breach of sanctions imposed on Russia over the Ukraine crisis.

Stakeholders in Sibur include Gennady Timchenko, an associate of Russian Vladimir Putin who is subject to U.S. and Canada sanctions enacted after Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea. Another Sibur shareholder is Putin's son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, who is married to the president's youngest daughter.

Ross told Bloomberg that Navigator had "no business ties to those Russian individuals who are under sanction."

Sibur said that in the first half of this year, Sibur spent $15.9 million on services provided by Navigator, or 2.8 per cent of its overall expenditure on logistics. It said Navigator was never a sole contractor for shipping Sibur's petrochemical products.

"All negotiations and meetings were held solely by Sibur management and solely with management of those companies [which were shipping Sibur's liquefied petroleum gas] and without shareholders' involvement," Sibur said in an emailed statement.

"In connection with the introduction in 2014 of sanctions with regard to one of the company's shareholders, our counter-parties conducted all necessary checks into whether there were any restrictions on working with Sibur. No such restrictions were found," the statement said.

"Sibur expresses its surprise at the politically charged interpretation in certain media publications of regular commercial activities, over many years, which from the outset were reflected in the company's published accounts."

Will Tillerson's Russia Order of Friendship pay dividends?

Shamalov did not reply to an email from Reuters seeking comment. Spokesman for Volga Group, an investment vehicle for Timchenko's assets, declined to comment.

While Ross downplayed the link on Monday, the details came to light as a shadow has emerged over Donald Trump's presidency due to allegations of untruthfulness, at minimum, among members of his campaign team and some administration members regarding their contacts with foreign governments, especially Russia.

Democrats raised Ross concerns

Former Trump election campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been indicted on charges that include violations under the little-enforced Foreign Agents Registration Act, while attorney-general Jeff Sessions was accused of evasiveness during his confirmation hearings regarding his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.

How Manafort and the Magnitsky Act are linked

Sessions subsequently recused himself from any investigations concerning possible Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and any collusion between Trump officials and foreign entities. That recusal helped pave the way for the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel, who can recommend charges for any criminal wrongdoing he uncovers.

The Paradise Papers release also raise questions related to Ross's confirmation process. As commerce secretary, he has a direct authority over trade and manufacturing policy and is an influential voice in the government on virtually any aspect of the U.S. economic relationship with other countries, including Russia.

Ross was asked repeatedly at the time about his business ties to Russia, mostly related to his former role as vice-chairman of the Bank of Cyprus, which has a long history of financing Russian oligarchs.

He was also asked about his shipping holdings and whether they could pose a conflict of interest with his duties at Commerce. But he faced no questions about Navigator and its relationship with Sibur.
Ross did not respond directly to a letter signed by five Democratic senators prior to the hearings inquiring into "the full extent of your connections with Russia."

But he told BBC there is "no basis in fact" to the suggestion he didn't disclose the holdings, claiming they were part of three different written submissions during the confirmation process.

CRA promises 'appropriate action' on tax haven use after Paradise Papers leak

Stephen Bronfman says he's never used offshore trusts, and his Canadian trusts have paid all taxes

CBC News Posted: Nov 06, 2017 8:47 AM ET

The Canada Revenue Agency says it won't hesitate to investigate new evidence of offshore tax evasion in the wake of a second massive leak of tax-haven financial records. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

The Canadian Revenue Agency is promising action after an international investigation pulled back the curtain on more than 3,000 Canadian companies, trusts, foundations and individuals who use offshore accounts as tax havens.

The leak, rivalling the Panama Papers in size and scope, involves a cache of nearly 13.4 million files from two offshore services firms and 19 different tax havens.

The list includes a who's who of the world's elite, including the Queen, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief fundraiser, U.S. President Donald Trump's commerce secretary, Russian oligarchs and former Canadian prime ministers Brian Mulroney, Paul Martin and Jean Chrétien.

"The CRA is reviewing links to Canadian entities and will take appropriate action in regards to the Paradise Papers," said spokesperson John Power.

An investigation by the CBC, Radio-Canada and the Toronto Star has found that philanthropist and financier Stephen Bronfman, an heir to the Seagram whisky fortune and a close Trudeau family friend, and his Montreal-based investment company, Claridge Inc., were key players linked to a $60-million US offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.

The investigation also revealed how Bronfman's longtime law firm — which also represented other offshore clients — helped mount a lobbying campaign in Ottawa that for several years fought legislation designed to crack down on offshore trusts.

Bronfman denies using offshore trusts

Bronfman issued a statement Monday saying he's never funded nor used offshore trusts, and his "Canadian trusts have paid all taxes on all their income to the Canadian government."

He also said he made a single loan more than 25 years ago to the Kolber Trust that was repaid five months later.

The loan "was on an arm's length, fully commercial basis, in full compliance with all legal requirements, including with respect to taxes," reads the statement.

"Stephen Bronfman and his family have always conducted themselves in accordance with the highest legal and ethical standards," the financier said in his statement, adding he wouldn't be commenting further.

Trudeau's office referred all questions about Bronfman to the Liberal Party of Canada, which said he was a volunteer who did not assist on policy decisions.

Chrétien also released a statement Monday saying any reports linking him to a bank account in an offshore tax haven are false.

"While as a lawyer for Heenan Blaikie I did some work for Madagascar Oil as a client of the law firm, all fees were billed by the law firm and went to the law firm. I never received any share options and I never had a bank account outside Canada," he said in a statement Monday.

The Official Opposition were quick to seize on the timing of the documents. The Liberal government has been waging a public relations battle around its proposed tax changes amid allegations that Finance Minister Bill Morneau personally benefited from sponsoring pension legislation.

Push for new legislation

In 2015 the Liberals rode into power on a platform that focused on the middle class and a promise to tax the rich

"If Justin Trudeau's priority was really tax fairness, it's very curious that he's done nothing to go after the mega-millionaires who stuff their money in foreign tax havens in order to avoid Canadian tax, but yet he's tried to bring higher taxes on farmers, pizza shop owners and other small business owners," said finance critic Pierre Poilievre.

"At the end of day, we need to work harder, all parties of all stripes, to crack down on those who avoid paying their fair share."

NDP Parliamentary Leader Guy Caron said part of the problem is the legality of offshore tax evasions.

The NDP has introduced a bill attempting to curb tax avoidance. Bill C-362 would deny tax breaks on a type of banking transaction commonly used in tax avoidance.

'Helping their friends'

"I think at least we have to think hard about the state of our tax system right now, because it's broken. It's obvious to Canadians that lots of people and the well-off are not paying their fair share," he said.

"To me it demonstrates a bit of [how] politics are sick basically. We would like people not to be cynical about what's going on, but it's hard not to be cynical when the people who are promising to tackle tax evasion or offshore accounts or tax havens are actually helping their friends benefit from it."

During question period on Monday Conservative House leader Candice Bergen asked the Liberal Party to return all the money raised by Bronfman.

National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier responded saying the nearly $1 billion in last year's budget used to crack down on evasion and avoidance is already bearing fruit. The minister in charge of the CRA said so far the government is close to recovering $25 billion in unpaid taxes.

The Paradise Papers were obtained by the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

Massive offshore leak reveals secrets of Stephen Bronfman's company

In the early summer of 2015, Justin Trudeau was the star attraction at a private fundraiser in Montreal hosted by philanthropist and financier Stephen Bronfman.

Bronfman, an heir to the Seagram family fortune and a close Trudeau family friend, was revenue chair of the Liberal Party. That day, according to news reports, the two men raised $250,000 in under two hours.

Within weeks, the Liberals would launch their federal election campaign, sweeping to power on a "Real Change" platform that focused on the middle class and a promise to tax the rich.

"Our government has long known — indeed, we got elected — on a promise to make sure that people were paying their fair share of taxes," Trudeau said shortly after his election victory. "Tax avoidance, tax evasion is something we take very seriously."

But an investigation by the CBC, Radio-Canada and the Toronto Star has found that Bronfman and his Montreal-based investment company, Claridge Inc., were key players linked to a $60-million US offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have cost Canadians millions in unpaid taxes.

Massive tax haven data leak reveals financial secrets of world's wealthy — from Queen to Russian oligarchs

Law firm representing prominent Liberal backers lobbied hard to kill offshore tax bill in early 2000s

It's a 24-year paper trail of confidential memos and private records involving two prominent families with Liberal Party ties that experts say appear to show exploitation of legal tax loopholes, disguised payments and possible "sham" transactions.

Among the key questions raised:

Is the trust subject to Canadian tax law?
Was the trust managed offshore — or in Canada?
Were "gifts" made to disguise payments?
Were there false invoices?
Are taxes owed in Canada?

"I would say there are lots of red flags, and I would expect tax authorities specifically to be very interested in following up," said University of Florida trust law professor Grayson McCouch after spending two days examining the files.

Denis Meunier, a former senior enforcement official at the agency who also reviewed key documents in the leak, said "this definitely merits an audit by the [Canada Revenue Agency]."

Part of massive financial data leak

The documents are part of a massive offshore leak released today dubbed the "Paradise Papers," which was obtained by the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). It's a cache of nearly 13.4 million files from two offshore services firms and 19 different tax havens.

Seven million of the leaked files come from the corporate law firm Appleby, which has operations in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and other offshore jurisdictions.

The CBC/Toronto Star investigation also reveals how Bronfman's longtime law firm — which also represented other offshore clients — helped mount a lobbying campaign in Ottawa that for several years fought legislation designed to crack down on offshore trusts.

PARADISE PAPERS | Trump's commerce secretary benefited from ties to Putin's inner circle

PARADISE PAPERS | Queen's estate 'not aware' it held indirect offshore investment

At the centre of the revelations is an offshore entity in the Cayman Islands called the Kolber Trust. It was set up in 1991 by Leo Kolber, who at the time was Claridge chairman and also a Liberal senator. Kolber had been a major Liberal Party fundraiser and once jokingly referred to himself as the Bronfman family's "consigliere."

The Paradise Papers show that Leo Kolber's children, Jonathan and Lynne, were the beneficiaries of the trust. Internal financial records show they received millions of dollars in "disbursements."

Read about the firm that lobbied to block offshore tax legislation on behalf of Bronfman, Kolber and others

In 2007, for example, $3 million US was wired to Jonathan Kolber for "living expenses" and to help purchase a Manhattan apartment. In total, he received $16.5 million US tax-free from the trust. The documents also show his sister Lynne received $1.2 million US.

The Kolber Trust had another purpose, too. The Bronfman empire was expanding into Israel and, after working for Claridge in Montreal alongside his father and Stephen Bronfman, Jonathan Kolber then moved to Israel in 1991 to head up the Bronfman efforts.

According to one memo, "for every dollar the Bronfmans invested in Israel Jonathan's reward was a 15 per cent share" paid through the trust. "This is how and why the trust was set up."

The Paradise Papers show that senior executives of Stephen Bronfman's company, Claridge, were routinely offering advice and arranging business transactions between the Bronfman family and the Kolber Trust.

In addition to the beautiful beaches, the Cayman Islands are known as a 'tax neutral jurisdiction,' where foreign companies pay no tax. (David McFadden/Associated Press)

The leaked documents reveal that while Claridge had no official role in the Kolber Trust, most of the initial funding came from the Bronfman family in various forms. Stephen Bronfman personally gave a $5 million US interest-free loan to the Trust in 1997, which was repaid in five months.

Over the lifetime of the trust, the Bronfman family and their U.S.-based trusts loaned the Kolber Trust more than $34 million US. And all of it ended up in the no-tax Cayman Islands.

Stephen Bronfman and Leo Kolber declined requests for an interview. William Brock, a lawyer representing Stephen Bronfman and Jonathan Kolber, denied any impropriety. "My clients have always acted properly and ethically, including fully complying with all applicable laws and requirements."

He stated that any "suggestion of false documentation, fraud, 'disguised' conduct, tax evasion or similar conduct is false."

Managed in Canada?

Offshore trusts can be perfectly legal. They are not subject to Canadian law so long as they meet certain conditions.

And for the Canada Revenue Agency, the most important rule for offshore trusts is that they really did have to be offshore — that's where the decisions, the so-called "mind and management," had to be made.

Yet the Paradise Papers — which contain more than 5,000 documents from the Kolber Trust file alone — reveal numerous examples where decisions were made and approved not in the Caymans, but in Canada.

There are memos seeking the "approval," "authorization" and "written confirmation" for business decisions from Montreal-based investment manager and accountant Don Chazan. The Paradise Papers also show there are phone calls and meetings in Montreal between Chazan and Jonathan Kolber.

Leo Kolber was a major Liberal Party fundraiser, and once jokingly referred to himself as the Bronfman family’s 'consigliere.' (Fred Chartrand/Canadian Press)

Chazan also kept a set of Kolber Trust books in Montreal, two former colleagues told the CBC.
"He was the adviser. He's the guy who made the decisions," Jonathan Kolber told the CBC in a phone interview.

Tax experts consulted by the CBC and the Toronto Star say that admission could spell tax trouble for the Kolber Trust.

"If that's true, then obviously there's a strong argument the trust was managed in Canada and potentially resident in Canada," said Dalhousie tax law professor Geoffrey Loomer.

William Brock, the lawyer for Stephen Bronfman and Jonathan Kolber, said that "all investment and other decisions" in the Kolber Trust were made by Cayman Islands trustees.

He also denied suggestions that Montreal accountant Don Chazan kept a set of Kolber Trust books in Montreal.

"Contrary to your unfounded assertion there was no second set of books," Brock said.

However, Rick Doyle, a former vice-president of Claridge told CBC that Chazan was keeping a second set of books. "That's what my understanding [was of] why Don Chazan was there."

Ken Shettler, an accountant who worked with Chazan, also said that Chazan did bookkeeping in Montreal, at the request of Jonathan Kolber, who was skeptical of records kept in the Cayman Islands. "He [Jonathan Kolber] didn't have confidence in their accounting so basically we were another set of books."

All that activity in Montreal could spark the interest of the Canada Revenue Agency, said Sherbrooke University professor Marwah Rizqy.

"If at the end of the day the major decisions are taking place here, the mind in management is in Canada," Rizqy said. If so, said Rizqy, that could have tax implications for the Kolber Trust in Canada.

In a second letter to CBC News, Kolber's lawyer, William Brock, said Chazan was engaged by Jonathan Kolber directly, and not through the Kolber Trust, to "confirm that all financial transactions of the Kolber Trust had been properly recorded."

Disguised payments?

The Paradise Papers appear to show that the Bronfmans and Kolbers were themselves concerned about links from Canada to the Cayman Islands and the possible tax implications.

One Paradise Papers memo states, "tax advisers for the Bronfmans and the Kolber family advised" that the work of a Montreal accounting firm not be billed as expenses of the trusts.

Emails and documents show in 2006, they were concerned about an $81,750 US invoice for work on the Kolber Trust paid out to Don Chazan.

The tax advisers recommended the payment be taken off the books and "allocated" instead as "loan repayment" to a third party. "This results in one less formal link between the trusts and entities outside Cayman," says the memo.

"That looks very suspicious," said McCouch, the University of Florida tax expert. "It looks like it was intended to mislead. It looks as if it was intended to conceal and to misrepresent the nature of the payment."

Kolber's lawyer, William Brock, said there is "nothing inappropriate in noting" there would be "one less formal link" between Canada and the Kolber Trust. Brock stated that essentially all of Mr. Chazan's services were rendered in the Cayman Islands."

The Paradise Papers show that Chazan visited the Cayman Islands trust company once a year.

Avoiding U.S. taxes?

In 2007, the Kolber Trust had a tax problem south of the border. Lynne Kolber was living in the U.S., but had apparently failed to declare payments of $1.27 million US out of the trust for the previous decade. She paid the back taxes, but the trust managers devised a plan to make sure that going forward, she would keep getting funds tax-free.

CBC used a slightly different methodology than ICIJ and found more than 100 additional Canadian entities in the data.

In 2007, Lynne Kolber was removed from the paperwork as a beneficiary. A memo contained in the Paradise Papers stated that Lynne will be "taken care of in other ways" and her brother Jonathan "will arrange to make gifts to her instead."

"Jonathan will arrange to make gifts to her instead of the trust making the present distributions to her," the 2007 Paradise Papers document states.

Gifts between family members are not taxable in the U.S., so it might have seemed like a simple solution. But McCouch said it may have violated tax rules.

"I would think the IRS would be very interested in this," he said, describing it as "precisely the sort of abusive transaction" U.S. authorities have tried to crack down on.

The answers CBC News received from Jonathan Kolber's lawyer about these gifts appear contradictory.

In a first letter to the CBC, William Brock defended the decision in 2007 to make gifts to Lynne Kolber through her brother, instead of direct "distributions" from the trust.

"Jonathan Kolber made gifts to his sister, who is an artist and a writer," Brock wrote. "Making a gift to your sister is not tax evasion and any pretention [sic] to the contrary would clearly be improper."
In a second letter, Brock stated that after 2007, there were "no gifts made by Jonathan Kolber."

False invoices?

The Paradise Papers also describe how two of Bronfman's senior executives intervened to help sort out another problem Jonathan Kolber was having in the U.S. In 2002 Claridge agreed that a $4 million US loan to the Kolber Trust would be interest free.

In the U.S., however, that debt had to be interest-bearing.

So the executives at Claridge came up with a plan. Their solution: Jonathan Kolber would get the interest payments back by invoicing Claridge a fee "for services rendered" equal exactly to the interest payments.

As one email to Kolber in the Paradise Papers states, the loan was "only in form" and not in "substance."

"Well, that's a smoking gun right there," said Rizqy, noting that kind of transaction might have broken tax laws. "Actually, it is very bold to write down."

Kolber's lawyer, William Brock, insisted that "no invoices were sent and nothing was paid."

But former Claridge executive Rick Doyle confirmed that Jonathan Kolber did indeed invoice Claridge for services. "He started charging services at a small amount," Doyle told CBC News. "We are not talking gobs of money here. He wasn't making a profit on it, he just wasn't losing money at the end of the day."

McCouch said there is a legal risk that any such side agreement between Claridge Investment and Jonathan Kolber may be viewed as "sham."

"To an observer, particularly a revenue service, it could look like evidence of fraudulent intent."

Taxes owed in Canada?

Through his lawyer, Jonathan Kolber said that when the trust was set up in 1991, it was not for tax reasons but because "new residents migrating to Israel were recommended to establish trusts" because of volatility in the Middle East.

After more than two decades of a tax-free existence in the Caymans, the Kolber Trust faced political headwinds of a different kind in 2013 when the House of Commons passed legislation, retroactive to 2007, that would tax Canadian-sourced contributions to offshore trusts.

In 2014, Israel also tightened its offshore trust laws, and by 2016, the Kolber Trust was shut down.
The Paradise Papers show that Jonathan Kolber, an Israeli citizen, had been worried his connection to certain investment funds held by the Kolber Trust would present a "major difficulty" with Israeli tax authorities.

Kolber and his lawyers decided to prepare a draft "settlement agreement" for Israeli tax authorities. But in so doing, they may have exposed themselves to problems back in Canada.

Kolber's disclosure to Israel includes one line that directly links the trust to Canada: "The source of the Trust's assets is the father of the Beneficiary, who is a resident of Canada," the draft settlement stated, referring to former Senator Leo Kolber.

The new tax legislation in Canada had targeted Canadian-sourced contributions to offshore trusts. So, did Kolber or any of his Canadian advisers notify the tax authorities in Ottawa about his settlement with the Israelis?

"We understand that the application was not sent to anyone in Canada," his lawyer William Brock said. He said that according to their interpretation of the tax rules, Kolber's trusts were never "liable for Canadian taxation."

Dalhousie tax professor Loomer said CRA might take a different view on the Israeli settlement, adding there's a possibility millions may be owed in Canada.

"I think the CRA would be interested to see that statement," Loomer said.

CBC News and the Toronto Star asked Prime Minister Trudeau for a comment on what he thought about Bronfman's involvement in an offshore trust in light of his position as chief fundraiser for the Liberal Party.

"Given you are referring to Mr. Bronfman's role in the Liberal Party, I would direct your questions to the party," Trudeau's spokesperson, Cameron Ahmad, said.

Liberal Party spokesperson Braeden Caley said the revenue chair is a non-voting position and that Bronfman serves on the party's national board "as a volunteer." His role, Caley said in a statement, has "consisted strictly of assisting the board on matters related to building on the Liberal movement's strong grassroots fundraising support, not policy decisions."

Paradise Papers

Huge offshore data leak reveals financial secrets of global elites — from the Queen to former PMs

Trudeau's chief fundraiser and Putin allies among big names in 13.4 million files

An enormous new leak of tax-haven financial records — rivalling the Panama Papers in size and scope — is laying bare some of the financial secrets of the world's elite, from the Queen to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's chief fundraiser to U.S. President Donald Trump's commerce secretary, along with more than 120 politicians across the globe.

The 13.4 million records in what is being dubbed the Paradise Papers come largely from Appleby, one of the biggest offshore law firms on the planet, which was founded in Bermuda and has branches in tax havens around the world.

The records expose the assets and sometimes murky dealings of a host of characters, as well as the ways corporate giants like Apple, Nike and Uber avoid taxes legally through increasingly creative bookkeeping.

The leak was obtained by German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and a network of more than 380 journalists in 67 countries, including CBC/Radio-Canada and the Toronto Star in Canada.

The leaked Appleby files contain the names of more than 3,000 Canadians and Canadian entities, including hundreds of companies, wealthy individuals, lawyers, accountants, and people who inherited money stashed in their family's offshore accounts in Bermuda or the Cayman Islands.

In fact, Canada ranks as one of Appleby's biggest sources of clients revealed in the documents, behind the United States, the U.K. and China.

This vast offshore industry makes "the poor poorer" and is "deepening wealth inequality," said Brooke Harrington, a wealth manager and Copenhagen Business School professor who is the author of Capital Without Borders: Wealth Managers and the One Percent.

"There is this small group of people who are not equally subject to the laws as the rest of us, and that's on purpose," Harrington said.

In addition to the Queen, three former Canadian prime ministers have connections to the offshore world that show up in the Paradise Papers::

Paul Martin's former shipping empire Canada Steamship Lines — now run by his sons — is one of Appleby's "biggest clients," according to a document in the leak. Martin offered no comment and CSL said it complies with all laws and regulations wherever it operates.
Brian Mulroney was on the board of Said Holdings, run by Syrian-born billionaire Wafic Said, who helped broker the biggest arms deal in British history. Through a lawyer, Mulroney said he considers Said "a good friend" and is "proud" to have served the company.
Jean Chrétien lobbied for an East African oil venture called Madagascar Oil. A register of the company's investors lists him as the recipient of 100,000 stock options, but Chrétien told CBC/Radio-Canada he never got, or even heard of, any such options. He confirmed he did briefly do some consulting for the company, and his law firm at the time, Heenan Blaikie, was paid for his work.

One of the webs of offshore accounts and companies in the Paradise Papers leads to Trump's commerce secretary, private equity tycoon Wilbur Ross, who has a stake in a shipping company that has received more than $68 million US in revenue since 2014 from a Russian energy company co-owned by the son-in-law of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The revelation comes against a backdrop of growing concerns about the links between Russia and people close to Trump.

A spokesman for Ross said that the commerce secretary never met Putin's son-in-law or the Russian energy company's other owners, and that Ross recuses himself from matters that relate to international shipping and "has been generally supportive of the administration's sanctions" of Russian entities.

In all, the offshore ties of more than a dozen Trump advisers, cabinet members and major donors appear in the leaked data.

About half the 13.4 million Paradise Papers files come from Appleby and Bermuda-based corporate services provider Estera, which split off from Appleby late last year. The records span everything from correspondence with clients and financial statements to internal company memos, emails and database entries.

The rest of the leaked records are from another offshore services firm called Asiaciti Trust based Singapore, as well as 19 corporate registries maintained by governments in other tax-haven jurisdictions.

In addition to disclosures about heads of state and corporations, the files reveal details about the financial lives of the rich and famous.

Russian billionaires

While having an offshore account or company is often legal, the built-in anonymity of tax havens tends also to attract money launderers, drug and arms traffickers, tax evaders and others engaged in questionable conduct, the leaked records show.

Appleby, for example, is one link in a chain of offshore actors who helped Russian oligarchs and government officials to purchase jets, yachts and other luxury items. Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, two Russian billionaires and childhood friends of President Vladimir Putin, were able to buy jets worth more than $20 million US in 2013.

U.S. and Canadian authorities imposed sanctions on the Rotenbergs in 2014 for their material support of Putin-backed companies and projects. Appleby cut its ties with the brothers but, in one case, received approval from the government of the Isle of Man nearly two years after sanctions were imposed to disburse fees to keep one of the brothers' companies on the business registry there.

The Rotenbergs did not reply to requests for comment.

PowerPoint presentations prepared internally by an Appleby employee and other documents cite examples of other controversial or disreputable characters who made their way onto the law firm's client list, including a corrupt Pakistani official, two children of the infamous Indonesian dictator Suharto and an alleged "blood diamond" dealer.

In some cases, Appleby quickly reported its suspicions about clients' activities to authorities, as required by law. In other cases, questionable clients raised no eyebrows for years.

'No evidence of any wrongdoing'

Appleby did not reply to a detailed list of questions sent by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists but released an online statement stating it had investigated the ICIJ's questions.

"We believe they are unfounded and based on a lack of understanding of the legitimate and lawful structures used in the offshore sector," the statement said. "There is no evidence of any wrongdoing."

Read Appleby's response to leak

Appleby said it does not tolerate illegal behaviour and provides advice to clients "on legitimate and lawful ways to conduct their business."

"It is true that we are not infallible," the statement said. "Where we find that mistakes have happened, we act quickly to put things right."

Asiaciti did not respond to requests for comment.

Marwah Rizqy, a professor of tax law at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, said leaks like the Paradise Papers and last year's Panama Papers are vital to understanding how tax havens affect Canada.

"The 21st century will be noted for the fight against tax evasion, the fight against tax havens," Rizqy said. "They're a cancer that can be cured by political will."
