Promote UK tax paying companies
This campaign has ended.
Introduce a trading standard award that all UK companies who pay fair tax on their sales can apply for. To achieve a 'fair tax award' the company must show tax paid in relation to total UK sales.
The award will enable them to carry the logo on their website and on all advertising material and we hope will go some way to redressing the unfair advantage tax avoidance companies enjoy.
Why is this important?
I have run businesses for over 20 years and in that time have had numerous dealings with HMRC. Often this has been to try and delay a payment to them in order help my cashflow as running a small business can at times be very difficult. The overriding argument for me to pay on time was always the same, it would give me an unfair advantage over other businesses if they were lenient with my tax debts. Although I may not have liked this at the time it is true, so how is it that firms like Amazon can sell to UK consumers whilst paying no tax on the profit from these sales?
