Note: This list of 72 countries and territories excludes some territories which have some tax haven

features but are not commonly used as such e.g. New Zealand. Those 34 territories marked with an

asterisk have developed their activities in the last 25 years according to Christensen and Hampton,

representing an almost doubling in the number of tax haven territories in that period
