Tax Research UK

These are my links for March 17th:

• Tories push for greater corporate responsibility - Accountancy Age - Annouce the closing down of tax havens then
• Darling’s Budget leaves only £2.8bn leeway - Accountancy Age - Bear Stearns had somewhat less. Let’s get real
• Tax Justice Network: The Taxpayers’ Alliance - TJN’s own view on the TPA
• FT.com / Companies / Energy Utilities Mining - Shell hopes for Nigeria boost - Now argue that the ,arkets do not need country-by-country reporting
• FT.com / In depth - Wall Street waits for the next domino to fall - Fall they might - but we’ll have to catch them. The price will be the next New Deal - and massive reform of the financial markets
• FT.com / In depth - JPMorgan to buy Bear Stearns for $236m - Interesting - a bank needing bailing out is worth 2% of what it was worth less than a year ago. A nice precedent for Northern Rock, I’d say
