World Wide Tax Haven

Call the Task Force

In the utopia that the Financial Action Task Force and the Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation would have us inhabit, such stories would never hit the headlines - people would be nicer to each other.

World Wide Tax Haven - Organisations

Both organisations stepped up their attacks on those offshore centres that are indulging in either harmful tax practices or dodgy business.
FATF announced that no jurisdiction on its 15-strong list of havens had done enough to be removed from their blacklist as yet. Similarly, the OECD announced that it would not budge on its proposed blacklist of tax centres with harmful tax practices.

So, there you have it: FATF will eliminate money laundering and OECD will wipe out ‘harmful’ tax practices. Far be it from Investment International to suggest that while black- lists may have some impact, all they will really do is shift the problems elsewhere.
