      The data visualisation is pretty, but a learning process would have been better -- talking with people who understand the underlying businesses & testing intuitions about the conclusions that can be drawn from looking at the country by country data.....https://twitter.com/TI_EU/status/1055371550264881152 …

      Is the ETR of banks in Ireland really 6%??? 🙄 -- this seems to be largely driven by RBS which owns Ulster Bank... clobbered by the financial crisis had massive losses (with apparent profitability driven by loan loss write-backs in 2015 http://www.investors.rbs.com/~/media/Files/R/RBS-IR/credit-ratings/moody/UBL_CO_july2016.pdf …) Not BEPSpic.twitter.com/kA1VdIOCEH

      What's going on at BNP Paribas in Cayman islands? I don't know. Possibly 'reported turnover' is net interest, while pre tax profits includes dividends received? At any rate BNP Paribas say in their report that staff and profits for Cayman entities are in the US. So the IRS knowspic.twitter.com/DATu8061h1

      Credit Agricole also has profits in Cayman islands but no staff. The report says the staff and taxes are in the US.https://twitter.com/TI_EU/status/1055404237641932800 …

      It's difficult to understand and compare #cbcr data of #EU banks, as they report in different ways and in different places. Our new http://www.taxtracker.eu  helps visualise the data of the top 20 banks and allows you to make comparisons like this one 🔽 pic.twitter.com/eu04rtyCyT

      BBVA in Ireland also had higher profits than turnover. What does this mean? I don't know. But i guess we are supposed to think its dodgy profit shifting? BBVA is shutting up shop in Ireland so perhaps it wasn't such a money pot.https://twitter.com/TI_EU/status/1055726486777409537 …

      These headline feel like they are pulling our chain. Are there other useful conclusions that can come from the bank CbC data? Maybe. This tool uses data for 2015 (Because Oxfam had already put it on a spreadsheet). 2016 and 2017 data is available but has not been compiled.

      I am wary of the easy rallying cry "we need more data"...when the data that has been already been reported has not seriously been looked at to test if it does what people hoped it would.

      On extractive sectors, there has been significant effort to try to make use of data disclosed. What has been learnt is..... simple ratios may show 'red flags but always need to look for plausible explanations & not jump to conclusions @Global_Witness :https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/oil-gas-and-mining/finding-missing-millions/#chapter-2/section-0 …

          Replying to @MForstater @Global_Witness

          I'm not sure of the aim of this Tracker. It gives numbers, but set in a context free zone, eg no mention that taxes are paid on taxable profits, not published commercial ones, That explains the apparent surprise that taxes can be higher than profits. @sarahwprior @DanNeidle

          Replying to @iaincampbell07 @MForstater and

          It gives context to the fact the 3 large loss-making banks actually paid 7% of global bank taxes. The Report aims as below. But how does that fit with the fact the tax rate for all banks is an average of 29.6% and why say Barclays at 32.3% is higher than the main UK CT rate?pic.twitter.com/qGWfLzrIj4
