Paradise Papers - Zondag Met Lubach

As Dutch practice, I watch a lot of these ZML videos.  Most of them have subs in Dutch and they’re all really funny.  I’ve been able to get the gist of most of the episodes, but this clip was a bit challenging for me since I don’t really know any economics-themed words, so I decided to write down all the words I didn’t know and then look up their definitions.  So without further ado, here is the full list (the words are more or less in the order that they appear in the video):

belasting: tax

bekend: known

uitlekken: leakage

zogenaamd: so-called

bleken: to bleach

bedrijf: company, firm

vermijden: to avoid

boodschap: purchase (n.)

dienst: service

geheim: secret (adj.)

sloten: dikes, trenches

boven: above

schaffen: to provide

vorig: previous

noemen: to name 

snappen: to get the idea (inf.)

vanaf: from

waarbij: at which

verrekening: miscalculation

vrijstelling: exemption
