The government last week asked the US to resume the stalled free-trade negotiations despite warnings from Venezuela and Bolivia that the deal endangers the survival of the Andean Community bloc. However, prospects for a quick resumption of talks have been undermined by US concerns over the recently approved oil reform law. This law requires oil multinationals operating in the country to hand over at least 50% of the additional revenues resulting from higher oil prices. Assuming oil prices hold around USD60 a barrel over the longer term, the reform is expected to result in about USD600m in extra government revenue each year. Government officials have said that the law will clear the way for the state to renegotiate current contracts with oil firms and the aim is to create a new model con...

GEORGE OSBORNE'S clampdown on wealthy foreigners using offshore companies to buy up central London will bring the top end of the property market to a juddering halt, experts warned today.

Today the Chancellor said that the Government will "publish the legislation to stop the richest avoiding stamp duty" next week. This is expected to lay out in detail the measures that will comes into force next April. However, there was relief that the Chancellor resisted the temptation to imp...

PERFECT PLANNER DAVID COOPER, 70 Pounds 1.5 MILLION A YEAR Cooper is the king of planning -- he makes oligarchs' property dreams come true for Pounds 1,000 an hour, and says he has worked with 31 billionaires in the past few years. He's best known for his work on Arsenal's move from Highbury and recently represented the owners of Yorkshire stately home Wentworth Woodhouse, the biggest house in Europe. The hourly fees on big projects can be "disastrously low", he told the Standard: "Once it starts going down to Pounds 400 it's not worth me doing it." Despite getting all the wealthiest clients, Cooper -- who has owned Zondas, Aston Martins and Porsches, and once owned 26 cars -- says he doesn't work for the money any more: "I'm cash-poor but asset-rich.
