Update: Jonathan Gray suggests two helpful resources: the twitter feed, and search results, for “not a tax haven”.
If you're up for getting involved, great! Here's a form where anyone can submit details of any claims of #WANATH (“We're not a tax haven”). We'll collate the responses and then publish a full list, perhaps even knock up a world map if there's enough data to be meaningful.
