Advocate welcomes secrecy ranking
An advocate and author says it's unsurprising the Island has moved down a list of countries facilitating tax evasion.
Campaign group Tax Justice Network ranked the Isle of Man 42nd in its 2018 Financial Secrecy Index, released earlier this week.

Doctors accept three-year pay offer
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
