We have only two people in this division despite the number of multinational companies here and, more importantly, the amount of funds flowing through the International Financial Services Centre, which are not landing here at all. I will not labour the point but it speaks volumes that we have 220 people looking after the local property tax and two people looking after international tax.
Were the resources of Revenue and the fact there are only two people in the international section the reason this member state did not pursue HSBC, as other member states did, through an illegal avenue in terms of what it was involved in?
