Tax havens are firmly on the agenda of the 20 most powerful countries in the world, with headlines today that Gordon Brown will chair a meeting on the subject at their next summit.
The announcement confirms the fears of Treasury Minister Allan Bell that a concerted assault on the offshores is taking place.

Mr Bell finds their attitude exasperating, as he explained to John Moss:
NEXT store to remain open
Island's 'premier destination' for celebrations to close in December
Torden Stores announces it's closing down
Crown Dependencies to opt for coordinated approach to APP fraud framework
