UK corporate tax avoidance is starving our public services of vital funds:
29% of large UK companies are considering moving their corporate tax base to a cheaper tax regime. (Apparently, the UK's lenient 28% rate is just not low enough for them.) How a "Tax Tick" could help: It's time to reward companies that pay the taxes expected of them - and send a message to those that don't. By filling your supermarket trolley with brands that displayed a Tax Tick, you could do exactly that. If we want to keep our schools, universities, hospitals and state pensions afloat, a Tax Tick logo is a good way to start. A great opportunity for tax-compliant marketers: Companies that take their social responsibilities seriously are heavily handicapped right now. But by qualifying for and displaying a Tax Tick, they would enable the market to reward them for their good citizenship. |
