#Trusts in @BBCNews @james_oliver_01 @steveswannBBC @nassos_. "irrevocable trusts" does not mean a "trust which cannot usually be amended, modified, or revoked after they’re created". Just that the trust cannot be revoked. Which takes us to...

... "withdrew from the beneficiaries of the #trusts" which indicates what happens with the trust can change. Of course, someone can give up a right under a trust or even the chance of having a right under a trust (often the latter). Withdraw or 'donating'... let's consider...
... "donating beneficial rights to family"... so that would indicate passing an actual right that someone had to someone else but could also perhaps be becoming excluded from the chance of benefitting... but may this is not important point about #trusts...

Die #PandoraPapers zeigen, welche Schlupflöcher es für internationalen Steuerbetrug & Geldwäsche noch immer gibt - und endlich geschlossen werden müssen. Eine kleine Auflistung schafft Transparenz: (1/10)
1. Verschleierung von Vermögen über #Trusts: Ein dunkler Parkplatz für Vermögen, der von einem Treuhänder betreut wird. Eigentümer & Begünstigte sind geheim. Das Leak enthält über 206 Trusts mit US-Bezug. Genutzt werden sie für Steuerhinterziehung, Geldwäsche & Betrug. (2/10)
2. Briefkastenfirmen: Geld aus kriminellen Geschäften wird über Briefkastenfirmen gewaschen. Über Strohmänner als Geschäftsführer wird der int. automatsche Informationsaustausch über Steuerdaten umgangen. Die Eröffnung einer Firma wird international nicht (!) ausgetauscht. (3/10)

The government is publishing a summary of responses to the 2018 consultation ‘The Taxation of #Trusts: A Review’.4 The responses did not indicate a desire for a comprehensive reform of trust tax at this stage.
The government will keep the issues raised under review.

On #hospitals, @NHSEngland maintains/publishes a list of NHS Hospital #Trusts, each of which may have several actual hospitals (which TBF are linked):

Though it doesn't seem to have updated the #OGL version on data.gov.uk since 2015.
As the statutory regulator, you'd hope @CareQualityComm would have a complete and up-to-date list of #CareHomes - but all its site appears to allow you to do is search for individual ones:

cqc.org.uk/what-we-do/ser…

Which, as a public #register, is less than helpful...
Mind you, speaking of statutory regulators, it's pretty appalling that @ICOnews - the #DataProtection regulator itself! - publishes a #register, supposedly under #OGL, that contains a whole *bunch* of #PersonalData it doesn't even bother to redact...
