Paulo, acho que não estou entendendo as coisas, pelo menos sobre a Inglaterra, veja o artigo publicado no The Guardian, Nicholas Shaxson, reproduzido no Other News, com o título: "A scheme designed to net trillions from global tax havens is being scuppered"

"The world is seeing the first stirrings of an emerging new architecture of global transparency in taxation which could, if pushed forwards, help governments for the first time raise serious revenues from the estimated $21-32 trillion sitting offshore. Switzerland, in alliance with the tax havens of Luxembourg, Austria and Britain, is leading the charge to derail it.[...]
A top Green party official called it “a slap in the face for all honest taxpayers”; and the head of the centre-left Social Democratic party, has accused Swiss banks of engaging in “organised crime”. If Germany rejects the deal, as seems likely, Austria will be easily dealt with, leaving Britain alone as the last big obstacle to progress in the greatest transparency project the world has seen."
