3/3 Background @TaxJusticeNet on this potentially massive step forward for tax transparency and accountability http://www.taxjustice.net/2016/01/28/tjn-calls-for-public-country-by-country-reporting-a-few-hours-later/ …

4/n Couple more things. UK commitment to public CBCR, assuming no strings attached, changes the calculation both for, and within, the EC

5/n EC commitment to public CBCR covers a substantial proportion of the world's multinationals, &making it much easier for others to require

6/n For developing countries that means a whole load of valuable information, plus the freedom to request same from any other multinationals

7/n The (national and global) benefit-cost ratio of making this info public is extraordinarily high, as shown at http://bit.ly/CC-PDF 

@alexcobham OK I am a miserable sod, but your assessment of the benefits-cost ratio says it is unknown, not 'extraordinarily high'

@MForstater Look at costs. If data required by law, additional compliance for open publishing (probably) < 0. So BCR =?

@alexcobham = unknown/ low (probably) = unknown
