      Are transparency and tax neutrality mutually exclusive though? Surely concealing asset ownership doesn't help capital markets?

      On 80% afraid I haven't seen the underlying estimate method. Wouldn't want to pluck a figure out of thin air. But data from recent amnesties in 2 middle-income countries does suggest the proportion is quite large? [1 of 2]pic.twitter.com/V5e6u3vh0V

      I'm not convinced CRS means nothing in 1st col. Maybe for U.S. or European taxpayers, but e.g. around 1/2 of direct investment held via BVI co's is still in countries with no tax EOI with BVI at all: either bilat, MCAATM-on-request or CRS pairing. Maybe as CRS expands? [2 of 2]

      Isn't the relevant set of agreements here between BVI & beneficial owners country(s) of tax residence? (i.e. not so much between BVI & host countries of FDI?) -- cf: Indonesia, Argentina above?

      Both, surely? BO residence for income, host country for e.g. cap gains? (Also, we can't do the maths for the BOs' country of tax residence because we can't see them (natch!))

      Based on what the Capital Economics Report says on where the BOs are from it looks like most main places covered by TIEAs (China, UK, US, Canada, several EU countries) .... the largest gap is Russiahttps://twitter.com/MForstater/status/992793417611710464 …

      Interesting (assuming accurate - @CapEconomics decline to release any of their data or calcs :-) (1) values/geography by location of underlying assets pretty close to that by location of UBO [1 of 2]

      [2 of 2] It's surely disingenuous to lump China/HK together, as here: if most of that (33%) slice is HK, then no tax EOI (no CRS pair and no TIEA). Add Russia and we could easily be approaching 40-50% of BVI-held assets?pic.twitter.com/OufYcHVrP5

      I agree would have been more helpful to break them out (or to publish the disaggregated data)

          Great questionnaire. One addition to the intro blurb tho: AFAIK so far only one country can submit requests to the BVI's new BO database: the UK. This could change with additional bilateral agreements, but hasn't yet.pic.twitter.com/FQaqWo0mph
