I have been blogging the increase on traffic here over the last few months, noting that it hit 6,000 in a day in September and 9,000 for the first time on 17 November.
Yesterday it reached a new peak — 12,000 reads in a day.
That’s a pretty massive leap, for no one reason. Ireland was one cause, the EU Code of Conduct and the Crown Dependencies another — but the general economic environment seems to be the major contributor.
Thanks to all who have visited.
Thanks for reading this post.

Can you give a breakdown by country?
@Mark
Varies day by day
US is low today for example
But about 60% UK
Isle of Man is always high – amazingly up to 10% on days like yesterday
US, Switzerland Guernsey and Jersey (the last always lower) next and bobbing around each other
Then HK, Cayman and EU countries like Germany and France and Spain
The 40 or more others with a few each most days
But oddly Lesotho has 15 today!
I follow this every day,not a contributer maybe,but I find it very interesting and extremely sensible,keep it up Richard, most people agree with you!
I come from Jersey and I visit you Richard.
Because you are always garanteed to give us a good laugh with your daily ill advised attacks on our prosperous finance industry 😀
I think your comments are interesting, even though sometimes inaccurate and partial – keep up the work !
It was very interesting to read a comment on a CIF comment on the Guardian website this morning. Apparently, you have a very poor reputation as an accountant/economist or whatever. Not if this many read your blog, you haven’t.
Keep up the brilliant work – and keep on prioritising people over money.
@nick james
I checked that – just for fun
So an ex PWC partner doesn’t like me and thinks I know nothing
No surprise there then
And I also know nothing about the “double Irish” which is why Bloomberg based their story on my opinion!
It’s all so predictable
Thanks for your support though
That’s great news Richard. With the number of readers doubling every 10 weeks, by this time next year you should have almost half a million reads a day!
Informative, vigorous, sometimes confrontational, always interesting.
Three cheers for Mr. Murphy!
Not surprising that many Isle of Man residents visit the Tax Research UK blog. It will make a refreshing change from the anodyne, PR influenced pap that is fed to them by the largely state controlled media.
@Howard
Now there’s an idea!
