Message: From GoLocalProv by Paul J. Spetrini, GoLocalProv News Editor: Nearly every city and town in Rhode Island continues to struggle with the effects of the state’s economic downturn and, at a time when budgets are stretched to the max and municipalities are trying to squeeze as many dollars as possible from state and federal aid, a new report says one unchecked problem is costing RI $229 million annually. According to the Rhode Island Public Interest Research Group (RIPIRG), Offshore Tax Havens—or countries/jurisdictions with minimal or no taxes—are taking approximately $164 million dollars in corporate income tax revenue and $65 million dollars in individual tax revenue out of Rhode Island on a yearly basis. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/tax-dodging-costs-ri-229-million-annually
