The Islamic Republic of Iran conjures up many images, but "tax haven" may not be one that immediately springs to mind.
The other day I was chatting with an Iranian friend who has just moved to Britain and had his first encounter with the British tax system. He was wondering: "Do I really have to pay?"
Back in Tehran, they have a kind of council tax, though my friend's family, in common with many others, hasn't paid it for years and the authorities haven't seriously tried to collect it, either.
