Switzerland&#8217;s decision yesterday (Friday) to play by international tax rules is the result of a great deal of political arm-twisting aided by the sting of scandal.

Offshore havens who refuse to hand over information on tax dodgers face an unprecedented campaign of economic sanctions by the world&#8217;s most powerful countries.

A hoard of banking files from the Caymans &#8211; one of the most secretive British tax havens &#8211; is being supplied to the US authorities by a whistleblower who claims they detail worldwide tax avoidance.

And, in particular, he is going to crack down on big businesses which cheat the Inland Revenue.
