Note: This figure illustrates the income generated from high-risk service exports and FDI-interest as share of Gross National Income in the EU in 2015. High-risk services are
defined as services within the five categories: "Intellectual property", "Telecommunications, computer and information services", "Financial services", "Other business services"
and "Insurance and pension services". The bars show the split between income from exports of high-risk services and interest income. The green line shows the GNI-weighted
average sum of the two incomes combined for all non-haven countries in the EU. The difference between EU28 and EU22 is the exclusion of the havens: Belgium, Cyprus,
Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta and Netherlands.

Note: The graph plots the distribution of the number of transfer price corrections by counterpart. Transfer price corrections are cases in which the Danish tax authority have
corrected an intra-group cross-border transfer price and as a result raised the taxable profits of firms operating in Denmark. The counterpart is the country that the Danish tax
authority argue have received excessive taxable profits. The graph shows that the counterpart in 40% of the cases is a high tax EU country (Non tax haven) and in 24% of the cases
is a non-EU high tax country.
