How would
my business qualify for the TaxTicked logo?
Your business would qualify if your effective rate of tax
paid (not declared) is at least 85% of the headline rate of UK
corporation tax. You will also need to make a declaration that your
company (and directors):
1) do not use tax havens for the purpose of avoiding
UK taxation
2) do not use declarable tax avoidance arrangements,
and
3) are not considered high-risk by the U.K.'s HM
Revenue and Customs.
My business sells services, not
products. Would I still be able to use the Tax Tick?
Yes, by displaying it on your promotional literature, website, etc.
My company operates legitimately
in the Channel Islands as well as on the mainland. Would it still be
eligible for a Tax Tick?
Yes, as long as your offshore activities do not result in your company
avoiding UK corporate tax.
What if my company is a
multinational / is not headquartered in the UK?
It could qualify as long as your company is paying the tax expected of
it on its UK earnings and does not use tax havens for the purpose of
avoiding UK taxation.
What would it cost to get Tax
Ticked?
First you would pay for an audit to establish your eligibility – the
cost of which would depend on the complexity of your accounts. If you
qualified, you could then license the Tax Tick for unlimited use for
the next twelve months. It is envisaged that licensing fees would be
between 1% and 2% of declared profits. This would pay for the scheme to
be administered by a non-profit company and to publicise the Tax Tick
among consumers.
My company meets these
criteria. How do
I get started?
