The UK’s perception of the Isle of Man has changed beyond recognition according to the Treasury Minister.
Eddie Teare has welcomed Prime Minister David Cameron’s confirmation this week that the Island is not a tax haven.
Mr Teare says it has taken 20 years for the UK to finally concede that the Island’s economy is not based on helping people avoid their tax liabilities.
During trips to Westminster to discuss the Isle of Man he says he’s noticed a definite change in attitudes:
