“France has added Jersey, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands to its list of uncooperative tax havens. The entry gave no reason for the move.

The British Virgin Islands had responded to 31 out of 41 requests. Tax has always been a sensitive issue for France, which has among the highest tax takes in the developed world, but President Francois Hollande has been under pressure to regain the initiative after the embarrassing resignation of his budget minister this year over a secret Swiss bank account.”
