In India, Black money refers to funds earned on the black market, on which income and other taxes have not been paid. The total amount of black money deposited in foreign banks by Indians is unknown. Some reports claim a total exceeding US$16.4 trillion are stashed in Switzerland's. Other reports, including those reported by Swiss Bankers Association and the Government of Switzerland, claim that these reports are false and fabricated, and the total amount held in all Swiss banks by citizens of India is about 2 billion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Ministry of Finance, Government of India )〕 In February 2012, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation said that Indians have $500 billion of illegal funds in foreign tax havens, more than any other country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black money: Indians have stashed over $500bn in banks abroad, says CBI )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=India 'loses $500bn to tax havens' )〕 In March 2012, the Government of India clarified in its parliament that the CBI Director's statement on $500 billion of illegal money was an estimate based on a statement made to India's Supreme Court in July 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Hindu - Business Line )〕 == Source of black money== Indian corporates invariably under invoice their exports and over invoice their imports from tax heaven countries such as Singapore, UAE, Hong Kong, etc. Thus the promoters of the public limited companies who hold rarely more than 10% of share capital, earn black money abroad at the cost of majority share holders and tax income to the Indian government. Politicians, political parties and corrupt higher officials of government and its institutions take bribes from foreign companies and park/invest the money abroad in tax havens for transferring to India when needed. Many times locally earned bribes/funds/collections are also routed abroad through hawala channels for evading from Indian tax authorities and consequent legal implications. The Vodaphone tax case is a glaring example where foreign multinational companies also evade tax payments in India by making transactions with shell companies registered in tax haven countries〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indian black money」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
