      Oh dear. The authors of that report derive the number by looking at the value of derivatives today. Which is nothing to do with the value of derivatives when they’re created - that value is £0.

      So a financial transaction tax literally cannot work that way. The £4.8bn figure is junk.

      I thought it was intended to apply as a (small) percentage of the notional value, a bit like stamp duty?

      That was the EU 2011 proposal, which was dropped ‘cause notional value is essentially meaningless economically. This report looks at market value, which has the slight disadvantage of being zero day one. It’s a bit odd.

      Also the 6bn from unitary taxation is based on extrapolation from what UK might gain if taxable profits on US MNEs were distributed by formula, but does not seem to take into account what the UK would lose if profits of UK MNEs were similarly distributed to other countriespic.twitter.com/VOwUyiNu24

      So the 6bn figure comes from the PSI report https://pop-umbrella.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/9dacd52a-6987-4dcb-a90c-4a1146f4a342_Taxing%20Multinationals.pdf … which references "another study" - which when you follow the footnote is Cobham, Faccio and Fitzgerald 2019 https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/j3p48/ … ....pic.twitter.com/dfRezkgKRJ

      Saying "it is only based on one data source" makes it sound like a point about data quality. But the salient thing about the Cobham, Faccio & Fitzgerald study which is being skated over here is it is only based on redistributing the profits of US MNEspic.twitter.com/goZ76wjp4M

      Also the 8bn from "taxing the offshore structures used by tech giant firms" https://www.taxwatchuk.org/taxing_uk_tech_royalties/ … is biting the same cherry. You cannot add these together!

      How any of this reconciles with the principle of citizenship based taxes or strengthening taxation of controlled foreign companies I don't know.pic.twitter.com/rZobjQiKRn
