Guardian journalist article provokes debate
A Guardian journalist believes a Beneficial Ownership Register should be made public, to show finance centres such as the Island have nothing to hide.
Robert Verkaik's article in the paper last week, 'The super-rich are trying to exploit human rights law to dodge tax', sparked much debate on social media.
Since then, an OECD report reaffirmed the Isle of Man is fully ‘compliant’ with tax transparency standards.
Mr Verkaik says if the Island really wants to prove its transparency, there's one obvious move it should make.
