British overseas territories are the world's top enablers of corporate tax abuse, according to a ranking by tax advocacy group the Tax Justice Network.

Advocacy group the Tax Justice Network has ranked the British Virgin Islands, followed by the Cayman Islands and Bermuda as "most complicit" in helping multinational corporations underpay corporate income tax.

The British Virgin Islands is the territory "most complicit" in helping multinational corporations underpay corporate income tax, followed by the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, according to the latest update to TJN's Defending themselves against the charges made by the advocacy group, spokespersons from some of the governments said they were in full compliance with international tax standards set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

This is the country's "Haven Score," and is meant to evaluate how much "wiggle room" there is for corporate tax abuse. The British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Bermuda received the worst scores across all 18 indicators. However, tax experts such as Niels Johannesen, director at the Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation, disagree that the index is an accurate measure for tax avoidance.
