The Tax Justice Network has just published the 50th edition of its Taxcast.
In this edition: which country is the second easiest in the world after Kenya to set up an anonymous shell company? We shine the spotlight on tax haven USA and the lawyers secretly filmed by Global Witness advising a fake corrupt African government Minister.
Also: we discuss Google's tiny tax payment in the UK and how politicians are interfering with the independence of our tax authorities, and the rise of the unnoticed tax haven of Taiwan.

I will be honest: I have no idea
That’s a better answer than I would have gotten from a politician, and good enough for me. Honesty is worth having.
