Dear
Subscriber,
'Our door is open' says an official in the White House to
a business lobby which wants to bend the President's ear
over his profoundly anti-business policies. A triumph of hope

financial sectors is taxed at 10% while other types of company

Jersey hoped this would be enough for it to escape the reach
of the Committee, but it was not to be - the island has been
too successful, so its competitors in Continental Europe insist
on 'transparency' and a 'level playing field', hoping to force
Jersey into taxing all companies the same.
