Just from reading the article, I am not sure I understand what makes Delaware a tax haven. Is it just because of the lower taxes? But the article makes no mention of any secrecy or exchange of information problems. Unless those things are present, why can’t other states or nations whether the economic activity is carried on by these delaware registered corporations simply take their “share” of taxes at the source?

No one knows who owns these companies
