I wonder if they're concerned about the price of hot pasties now?

How much tax was it Vodafone dodged, was it £6 billion?
When gypsies dodge tax = bad. Very bad.Vodaphone, or other big company, 'negotiates' with IR and the government and doesn't pay taxes = good. Very good. In fact avoiding all this tax liability, although at great cost given they had to chat with Cameron (perhaps even Christmas dinner?) brings £millions into the country. It's been said often enough on these pages.
You must keep up.

I think we should treat the Gipsy's the same as Vodafone, if the Gipsy's threaten to leave the UK for a Tax Haven then it will be a great loss to the treasury and society as a whole Vodaphone, or other big company, 'negotiates' with IR and the government and doesn't pay taxes = good.

I read the article in the Telegraph. Then in Judith Wood's column, a tale that made me chuckle.
The 'right-on' brigade in Hackney council have designated June as Gypsy Roma Traveller month.
On cue, a bunch of the meat & pastry lock openers have pitched up on the local common in their caravans. The kids of the local residents play 'spot the willy' of the caravans male inhabitants taking a piss up a nearby tree.
Hackney council have 'reluctantly' applied for an eviction order, which will take up to 28 days to effect.

Sitting there in meetings thinking up their oh so necessary plans on all sorts from Roma week to 'persuade your child to cycle to school through rain, hail and juggernaut to save some carbons' whilst working out which new revolutionary they should rename streets for.The 'right-on' brigade in Hackney council have designated June as Gypsy Roma Traveller month.

Paid for by the local tax payers no doubt, to 'represent' and work for them...

You should read Private Eye's Rotten Boroughs pages. You'll soon learn to leave out labour in such condemnation. Corruption goes on regardless of political affiliations.I offer, " a ruination"

kwits".Keep sharp impliments safely locked away.

And of course UK uncut and their mouthpieces in the media are expert tax lawyers able to exactly determine how much tax each multinational should pay in each country.Rather than say being populists who regard something as basic as being able to offset brought forward losses against current year profits as a case of tax evasion.
Whether or not £6bn was owed or not, and on what basis that number was calculated, will never likely be known and given that it related to the aquisition of Mannesmann it is not easily calculated.
It is claimed that internally Vodafone had set aside £2.2 bn to settle the case so the eventual settlement was £1bn less than this.
But that is £1bn not £6bn.
The underlying story behind many of these cases is that tax is only being 'dodged' if you treat HM R&C word as gospel, but it isn't. They are often far more aggresive than the legislation allows, an example of which, which affects far smaller businesses than Vodafone, is their attempt to target income splitting between husband and wife in family owned businesses.
Some people still seem to have difficulty distinguishing between tax avoidance and tax evasion - the former is lawful, everybody who accepts income tax allowances is doing it, and the numbers make no difference.
What does make a difference is the £billions in tax that the country gets from corporates.
