Tax Paradise Mauritius?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The Paradise Papers suggest that the island state may be acting as an anonymous low-tax gateway into Africa. That is the accusation - denied by Mauritius' government - put to presenter Ed Butler by investigative journalist Will Fitzgibbon. Also in the programme, Robert Johnson of the Institute of New Economic Thinking and Winnie Byanyima of Oxfam explain why the solution to global inequality may actually be the revival of old school policies such as public education and organised labour rights. Plus, Daniel Gallas reports on the enduring legacy - and valuable brand appeal - of Brazilian Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna. (Picture: Beach in Mauritius; Credit: Freeartist/Getty Images)
