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...

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...

A welcome move. But March 2029 implementation is too late. When the US made similar changes we saw massive influx of additional product into the UK. EU has just brought forward similar changes to early 2026. The UK will be a dumping ground within 12 mths www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

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...

Wonderful to see @shareaction.bsky.social urging investors to use their voting power during the forthcoming 2026 AGM season to push for corporate responsible tax conduct, and referencing the #FairTaxMark standards as the go-to benchmark. shareaction.org/shareholder-...

There are good and bad actors in both large and small business. We’ve launched a new information hub that details the scale of small business tax avoidance, and what can be done to rectify it. fairtaxmark.net/wake-up-to-s...

Reform's war on woke council spending in top gear in Durham. Proposing to increase parking charges and reduce litter picking, grass cutting and bus services. Also, vacancies for lollipop men and ladies not being filled. Finally, those commie lollipop people are being driven out. on.ft.com/3LITzlw

The EU needs to move faster on dealing with Shein, Temu, et al. If it doesn't, Member States such as Italy & France will go unilateral. Which means the UK will need to get in the fast lane as well - or it will become a dumping ground on.ft.com/3LDAv8o

We've just updated our global pCbCR tracker with data from Amazon, CK Hutchinson, Apple, HP, IBM, Nufarm and others. That's 160 pCbCR reports now tracked in connection with the EU pCbCR Directive. Reach out, if you would like access to our database. fairtaxmark.net/resources/pu...

Good to see, and kudos to all involved. What we have here is large, sophisticated crime groups using "small businesses" as a vehicle for a range of crimes, including evasion of a whole range of taxes. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Great to have these Fair Tax Mark certified. Amadeus is the world’s leading provider of travel technology. Three companies on the Spanish IBEX 35 now accredited, with a fourth progressing accreditation. 😀 bsky.app/profile/fair...

This probably needs to happen. But not yet. As an EV driver of 10yrs can say that the charging network is still absolutely shit in large parts of UK. Especially North of England. Sort that, then introduce road pricing. on.ft.com/4qK4jQH

We have launched a new research resource on why we need to take small business tax avoidance more seriously. It's impact is at least as significant as that of big business. The issues described are material across Europe – especially the solutions outlined fairtaxmark.net/smallbusines...

Great news. Cost of incorporation in the UK to be doubled. The UK has the most bloated corporate register in the world. And Companies House needs the extra resources to tackle the tens of thousands of fraudulent businesses that are listed www.accountancydaily.co/companies-ho....

Often hear about how a £/$ spent in the private sector will create x more £s/$s in the economy. Well what about looking at how a £ of tax paid by the private sector will leverage up to produce a multiple of GDP impact?! It's 'say what you pay with pride' with bells on. bsky.app/profile/fair...

Great analysis of the Caerphilly byelection. A good night for tactical voting, the left and the centre. A bad night for the far-right and Reform. Turnout was up on the last general election. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/plaid-smas...

Temu's numbers are batshit crazy, as reported here. Sales in the UK and EU of c.$2bn & c.$10bn. Combined staff <10?!? And their response? Imply that the VAT that customers pay, and they collect, comes out of their pockets! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Multinationals headquartered in the UK and Japan are far more likley to implement new European tax transparency rules with integrity compared with MNCs from the US & Switzerland. Stand-out laggards include Apple, Eli Lilly, Microsoft & Oracle #pcbcr 1/n fairtaxmark.net/research-fin...

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Sad to hear. One of the greatest scientists of the last 100yrs. I studied her work at university. Convinced me that higher primates should never be subject to experimention or exploitation. Years later, made such this was embedded in Coop Bank's Ethical Policy. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Great to be in sunny Liverpool rubbing shoulders with wonderful social enterprises at #LabourConference2025

Chilly Saturday morning. Supporters milling on platform. Plastic bags in hand. First tin of the day. Oooh, that has a kick. Inside voices for now. Chat with randomers. No-one lost yet. Happy. Slag off the Prem - not proper football. No Salah but also no VAR in EFL. #UpTheTics

This is big and a really good piece of policing and prosecutorial work - bribes to help foreign states get a more favourable hearing in parliaments and with the public should never have a place in the UK or Europe.

If the plan is to bring back thriving high-streets, will also *need* to bite the bullet and tackle the rapid rise of online marketplaces such Shein, Temu, Amazon and now even TikTok - who don't pay their way on tax and have a massive unfair advantage. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

Phoenixism is rampant in the UK. Here's what it looks like: - a business goes into admin with £2.9m debts, including £647k owed in tax - 3 days later, acquired for initial £10k by venture created by previous owner, who pocketed millions in its final three years www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It is "established fact" that humans have warmed the Earth by burning fossils fuels and that our emissions have made climate extremes more frequent and intense (IPCC AR6) Thank you for your attention to this matter! www.carbonbrief.org/...

The USA is much further along the road to Gilead under Trump than London is to Sharia Law under Khan. I know who I wouldnt want my daughter alone in a room with.

The US Chamber of Commerce never misses an opportunity to attack legislation that improves financial transparency. Now trying to kill not only improvements in US accounting and reporting standards, but progressive tax transparency legislation in other countries. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

"Serious questions need to be asked as to why Temu has such a negligible economic and tax footprint in the UK despite its enormous sales. The registered office in London is essentially a shell, with no staff and no long-term assets." www.retail-week.com/fashion/temu...

We have been warning for years that phoenixing is a major issue in the UK. The chances of being caught are very small. And if caught, the penalties have been laughable to date. Beyond vital tax lost, it's difficult for legitimate small retailers to compete www.ft.com/content/5ef9...

International Tax Review have picked up on our latest polling of the UK public, highlighting that: - 69% want to see Big Tech continue paying a digital services tax; and, - 74% support mandatory country-by-country tax reporting by multinationals. www.internationaltaxreview.com/article/2fby...

Obviously pre-Trump administration... but shows that the majority of the world has pretty much concluded that the race to the bottom on corporate income tax needs to end, and rebound somewhat even. Needs remembering amidst the current global chaos. bsky.app/profile/fair...
