Mere tax haven status will not pay the bills, nor will an over-reliance on indirect taxation."<br /> <br />"The overseas territories need a strategy for reining in their public expenditure and/or raising revenue to start paying off their debts. That is precisely what the G20 countries, including the UK, are doing. I have made these points in recent discussions with the Cayman Islands and Anguilla when they sought permission to extend their borrowing without showing how they intended to drive down borrowing in the short to medium term. I am sure these discussions will continue for some time but I am determined to continue working with the territories to ensure that their public finances are resilient enough in the long term to handle economic shocks.<br /> <br />Of course fiscal policy, on both taxation and expenditure, is a matter for the territories themselves but the UK government is right to put restrictions on their ability to borrow unless and until they can come forward with a clear strategy for cutting that debt. And if we want to promote action on regulating tax havens worldwide, it is essential that Britain be in a position to lead by example."<br /> <br /> <br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/sep/25/british-overseas-territories-tax-havensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-84399831720113598972009-09-23T22:21:32.325-04:002009-09-23T22:21:32.325-04:00One way to ensure money is coming to the treasury ...One way to ensure money is coming to the treasury is by putting a stop to work permit weavers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
