Business Matters: Luxembourg faces tax probe 07 Nov 14

Fri, 7 Nov 14

Luxembourg faces new allegations it offered tax breaks for more than 300 global companies, with EU leaders promising1 to investigate. We speak to Nicholas Shaxson, tax campaigner and author of Treasure Islands - a book on tax havens2 - about what can be done to prevent such deals. As oil prices continue to fall we hear how it's hurting Venezuela's oil-reliant economy, and we talk to the Secretary-General of OPEC about why prices are falling so low and whether it plans to take action to stabilise them. And, as a conservation group accuses Chinese officials of smuggling3 ivory out of Tanzania, we hear from a Greenpeace member in Beijing about what it's like to be an activist4 there. Plus, we talk to the boss of a firm selling 3D food printers, and hear why clothes for dogs is becoming big business in the US
