      Pretty clear it was a good faith mistake.

      Yes it does seem like it must have been a good faith mistake. Worth correcting though (there is a lot of repetition of good faith mistakes on this topic). HMRC annual report just out says over last 8 years 2.8bn recovered from international evasionhttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-annual-report-and-accounts-2017-to-2018 …

      All these are estimates no-one knows the exact figs. I think you're being a bit pedantic. It was a joke! There will be money it will run into billions. Not exactly clear.

      Helen, it really won't be billions for the reason I mentioned: any rational tax evaders will have plenty of time to move to other jurisdictions that don't have disclosure. Not pedantic but an important point, and a good reason to pursue universal BO disclosure.

      Yes we should do that too. But I believe we should act where we have control and not use this an excuse. Can you tell me one good reason why NOT to act?

      I said upthread I agree with OT beneficial ownership disclosure. I don't agree with being reckless about the likely yield. £10bn was a nonsense, reckless figure.

      Personally I am less convinced than Dan about UK imposing public registers on OTs (orCDs). There should be adequate, accurate timely information accessible to competent authorities, & to the public for public contractors, politicians & senior officialshttps://www.cgdev.org/blog/criminal-finances-should-uk-be-imposing-public-registers-beneficial-ownership-its-ex-colonies …

      Having agreed thru the exchange of notes for OTs & CDs to develop confidential central registers & exchange info w UK law enforcement, with a review in July 2019, jumping straight to requiring publication by OTs 'because we can' was breaking cooperation https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-05-01/HCWS661/ …

          I am uncomfortable with the method, for that reason, but agree with the outcome. However important that there is a speedy move to universal BO disclosure at OECD level, or (1) evaders will move; (2) unfair to OTs.

          That's not even on the table in the US though. If this gets through Congress it will be amazing (in a good way..... I mean it would be great)

          I hope it was informed by more than jokes and wishful thinking about billions of revenue. But given that the "more than aid" factoid was widely used in all seriousness and good faith I think maybe not.https://twitter.com/MForstater/status/1017320157855789056?s=19 …

          A thread about "Developing countries lose more to corporate tax dodging than they get in aid". This is widely believed, and widely quoted, by serious organisations, MPs, media, academics etc..... but it just isn't true.
