Google accused of UK tax dodging

Erm, Google and everybody else who can get away with it, so take a look at the laws and see what needs changing...

Re: Google accused of UK tax dodging

Oh right, because those corporations who boast having MPs as board members don't dodge paying UK tax?

The previous incumbent of the "top job" doesn't dodge paying tax? Etc etc.

Who doesn't avoid paying tax where they can? How many people on here have an ISA or two?

An ISA is a legitimate way though, as it's a way to encourage people to save money by not taxing the interest on it as it's income.

It's only tax dodging until you get caught, then it can become tax avoidance :lol:
