@BrianLe_Blanc No he doesn’t! Book estimates 65% ‘commercial’ not = “tax avoidance” or “MNCs” - says no study done on intra-co transactions1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MForstater If you give the book another look you'll see he pins much of commercial as tax evasive in nature. pg133-138 & Table 4.4 pg1722 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
