These are my links for April 11th:
- Which Is the Bigger Challenge: Tax Havens or High Taxes? - WSJ.com - Dan Mitchell v Ray Baker. It’s clear who won. Ray’s a star.
- Caribbean Net News: Paying taxes is a ‘legal’ obligation, not a ‘moral’ one, says Cayman Islands regulator - Well he would say that, woildn’t he?
Richard,
Can you explain further your position on taxation obligation, legal v. moral.
Individuals do not ‘owe’ a moral obligation to the state. One could argue that individuals owe a moral obligation to other individuals in pursuit of expanding individual liberty.
But a moral obligation to the state, please….
I think Cayman is in a very much different position to other states: they have signed the European Savings Directive and are exchanging information with the EU.
Belgium does not. Does that make Belgium worst than Cayman?
Azra
I condemn Belgium on this issue - as I do Austria and Swizerland too
