PART 1  |
In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Maurice Walsh reports on tax havens, such as the island of Jersey, located in the English Channel between England and France. He also profiles Ireland. The economy was stagnant there two decades ago, but Ireland slashed corporate taxes, attracted much foreign investment, and is now one of the richest nations in the world. How do Ireland’s neighbors view this “tax competition?” |
