Despite leap in revenues (up $79bn) and profits (up $29bn), Amazon’s corporate income tax has plummeted by a third ($4bn) and now equates to just 8.5% of profits in 2025. Fall driven by big reduction in tax paid in US, a result of enormously generous tax reliefs in Trump’s Big Beautiful Tax Bill

Latest Fair Tax Foundation mailing is out. Analysis on: - Why corporate income tax is the most critical of all taxes - The global minimum tax is bruised, but very much alive and kicking - MNCs seem divided on tax transparency, with US multinationals laggards - And more mailchi.mp/fairtaxmark/...

Despite exempting US multinationals at the expense of public revenue, the latest #OECD tax deal preserves the important corporate global minimum tax. Check out @fairtaxfoundation.bsky.social for a more detailed analysis of the side-by-side deal here: fairtaxmark.net/the-global-m...

Whoah, Facebook's / Meta's accounts just out in the US. Corporate income tax paid is the lowest it's been in a decade (at just 9% of profits). But, thankfully, they're looking at big top-up tax payments due to the 15% Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) that Biden created.

Really disappointing to see. Calls into question how serious current UK Government is at tackling the epidemic of tax dodging that we are seeing among small business. HMRC say that small business accounts for 60% of the UK's £47bn tax gap www.accountancydaily.co/government-d...

Decent application of the EU corporate tax transparency directive is substantially above average among MNEs headquartered in Japan (at 72%) and the UK (71%), but substantially below average in Switzerland (43%) and (surprise, surprise) among US multinationals (40%). fairtaxmark.net/pcbcr-across...

No other tax comes close to having so many positive impacts. Corporation tax is more than a vital revenue raiser for public services. It is crucial to fair business competition, improved national productivity and reduced inequality. fairtaxmark.net/corporate-in...

Hilarious: this is verbatim what Labour said after taking power, but they called bullshit to that Reform UK said it had “inherited broken councils with extremely challenging financial positions following years of incompetent Conservative administrations” www.ft.com/content/6837...

It's great to see the incredible achievements detailed in Clean for Good's 2025 Impact Report - including five years of Fax Tax Mark certification, signifying their commitment to paying tax fairly & transparently. Full report here: www.cleanforgood.co.uk/impact-reports #ResponsibleBusiness

This is the ugliest of compromises, but keeps the global minimum tax alive. Which is what really matters. Worth remembering that the US already has a global minimum tax of 15% of sorts, albeit far inferior to the OECD's as is blended. www.ft.com/content/7d8e...

Research finds that: - investors are rewarding increased corporate transparency and tax-responsible behaviour by lowering the cost of equity capital 😃 - tax avoiders tend to be rather averse to disclosing country-by-country information 😡 phys.org/news/2025-12...

Get ready for a swath of economically illiterate plonkers saying that this is a bad thing. The uk company register has been rammed with fraudsters for years. This fall is a GOOD THING www.thetimes.com/business/com...

As discussed with @theregister.com, the Digital Services Tax is "clumsy, but needed" and we are happy to see the UK Government has no plans to curtail it before a global tax solution is reached. Big Tech is not paying its way on tax compared with other sectors. www.theregister.com/2025/11/28/u...

In a world full of doom and gloom, it's worth noting that the corporate income tax contribution made by business across the world is on the way up - and has reached a 21st century high. There are many, many businesses out there who are proud to pay tax. fairtaxmark.net/corporate-in...

Great to see Washington-based Big Tech lobbyists "disappointed" at the manner in which the UK Government is rightly resisting their bullying and continuing with what is a very moderate digital services tax. bsky.app/profile/ccia...

Professor Chris Harrop OBE introduces the concept of Tax Funded Impact, a social impact metric that translates corporate tax into measurable GDP contribution and social value creation, reframing tax as a value-creating investment rather than a cost. Read more here: fairtaxmark.net/a-new-esg-me...

This year's State of Tax Justice Report has gone big on public country-by-county reporting, or rather the lack of it. The tone & framing may be a bit edgy for some, but they are right to flag how many in the US are increasingly behind the curve on tax transparency. bsky.app/profile/taxj...
