Why does the FT’s corporation tax map exclude so much interesting data?

Posted on April 29 2013

Why does the FT's new interactive corporation tax map (of which this is a screen shot, not the real interactive thing):

1) Use some very odd PWC data which, for example, portrays Ireland in an absurdly favourable light?

2) Not let me click on Luxembourg?

3) Ignore all the smaller tax havens?

Could PWC be helping the FT tell a story that's not all it might seem?

    Perhaps it’s a bit like the Reinhart-Rogoff spreadsheet? We ought to forward it to say the University of Glasgow, so that an undergraduate there can find the errors… 😉
