I know that, you know that.
Bu then some start talking about 'moral obligations' to pay more than they legally have to. etc
So the test of the moral obligation or fairness crowd is Do they pay more tax than they are legally obliged to? If not they are hypocrites and should pipe down.Bu then some start talking about 'moral obligations' to pay more than they legally have to. etc

CamMoreRon what do you think of a company that aggresively challenge HMRC in court to avoid paying UK corporation tax, who use 3 subsidiaries based in 'tax havens' to channel profits out of Europe, who manage to pay just 2.3% tax on $3bn in profits and who, according to 'Citizens for Tax Justice', as of May 2014 are holding $7.5bn untaxed offshore to avoid paying $1bn in US taxes?
I don't have a problem with any of that and I certainly don't have a problem with anyone working for them but I'm sure we'd all love to know your thoughts.
OEM suspension systems engineer in Essex? Say it ain't so!

You work for the company above don't you? Come on tell me I'm wrong! You care so deeply about corporate tax avoidance you work for one of the biggest and best so you can spare us the self righteous indignation.
Congrats on the job though, they turned me down. Apparently I was too aggressive in the interview. In my defence the interviewer was a fvcking idiot.

'Companies which exploit loopholes to avoid paying tax in Britain will be made to ‘damn well pay’, David Cameron said last night.
The Prime Minister pledged to clamp down on multinationals that funnel billions of pounds into offshore tax havens.
It follows controversy over the way firms such as Google, Apple, Starbucks and Amazon handle their tax affairs in the UK.'

CMD has been equally convincing when acting tough with the EU in the past, that worked well 'Companies which exploit loopholes to avoid paying tax in Britain will be made to ‘damn well pay’, David Cameron said last night.

So did we find out if he is funded by a major tax avoider?
It's a possibility, but he's avoiding commenting. And if you suggest that this is the case he will complain to the Mods and get you banned!!
Sounds delightful - must be up for a secure seat soon
Thread resurrection alert
There was a bit of a hoo ha in the press about Facebook's tax situation again this year
But no mention of one of my favourite companies taxwise, Mondelez UK
In 2017, it's sales were the very thick end of £1.7bn
How much corporation tax did it pay on that, seemingly healthy, revenue?
Does it pay more, or less, than, say, Facebook?

But corporation tax isn't payable on revenue and the vast bulk of their profits were from dividend receipts from group companies (which aren't taxable either as they are being paid out of post-tax reserves). How much corporation tax did it pay on that, seemingly healthy, revenue?
