Good to see Companies House enforcing the rules on corporate financial transparency in the UK. Companies owned by the rich & famous take note - Harry Styles, served notice of shutdown - Tyson Fury, company shut down - Marcus Rashford, situation rectified www.cityam.com/harry-styles...

The UK needs mandatory public country-by-country reporting Makes visible how energy companies contribute tax. Eg, net-zero champions Iberdrola, Ørsted, Vattenfall & SSE (all #FairTaxMark) made corporation tax payments of £630mn to the UK in recent reporting cycle fairtaxmark.net/uk-should-up...

Seeking (and likely) to do permanent damage to the ability of the US state to function for its people. Tax is our social superpower, central to our ability to organise ourselves to live better, healthier, happier lives together. This is an attack on the many by the few.

Economically illiterate - VAT is not a tariff - US exports to Europe charge VAT (c.20%): European exports to US charge sales tax (c.7%) - In Europe, VAT applied equally to all products: country of origination irrelevant - Trump basically saying US exports need unfair advantage to compete

As our CEO told Barron's, we don't see Europe walking away from a global minimum tax *and* can envisage further spread of digital taxes. Aggressive lobbying by tax dodging US Big Tech and Trump's tariff threats may have opened up worst of all outcomes for them www.barrons.com/articles/tru...

"To be recognised for continuing to do the right thing when it comes to tax transparency and paying our fair share of tax is important to us and the accreditation is recognition that we continue to champion a level playing field for businesses." #GoodBusinessMatters fairtaxmark.net/leeds-buildi...

As quoted, political developments in the EU & US will lead to a further massive influx of Shein / Temu products to the UK - Government needs to close the gaping tax and customs loopholes asap, not least to protect consumers and help keep high streets alive www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As commented... the OECD Global Minimum Tax is very much alive and advancing across much of the world. And the US operates a crude GMT of its own (the GILTI), which is due to increase to c.13-16% in 2026. Which creates a lovely dovetail with the OECD’s 15% GMT www.esginvestor.net/trump-blocki...

We are witnessing a global surge in corporate tax disputes around the world, with business predicting that a further increase in tax inquiries is looming... and this is all before factor in the new US administration!!! fairtaxmark.net/business-see...

The BVI's proposals are laughable. The UK Government must now intervene Not only will the BVI company ownership register not be open to the public. Those granted access is ridiculously narrow, and includes a trip wire to alert those being investigated! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The British Virgin Islands' new company register proposal is just more of the same—protecting secrecy over transparency. Illicit finance thrives in the shadows. Read my full take on how their proposal falls short: www.transparency.org.uk/news/smokesc...

The APPG calls on HMRC to urgently investigate whether Abramovich owes up to £1bn in unpaid tax, and to recover all that's owed, following investigation by @tbij.bsky.social @theguardian.com and BBC News 👇 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I’ve called on HMRC to urgently investigate claims that Roman Abramovich may owe up to £1bn in U.K. taxes. Full story👇

Delighted to provide the wonderful @tbij.bsky.social and @theguardian.com with analysis and commentary on the tax affairs of Roman Abramovich's business empire, which is breaking news today. Sooooo many red flags. HMRC needs to be all over this. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Need to dig beneath the headline here. "Mandatory" beneficial ownership information registration by business in the United States still far from locked down Supreme Court ruling simply means that business may register information "voluntarily" at FINCEN www.forbes.com/sites/jayadk...

This is the 1st time the UK has secured 2nd spot in the 28yr history of this survey. Proves once again that business wants stability & certainty more than anything. Corporate income tax rate is not an overwhelming material issue (as long as it's not silly). www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Fantastic article about dirty money in the UK and @joepowell.bsky.social's excellent and intrepid efforts to highlight the real harm it causes.

(1/5) Across important global collective action areas, the world will have to decide whether to move ahead w/o the US, or to capitulate to short-sighted demands. Threatening the intl. tax agreement and withdrawing from Paris are two sides of the same coin. www.ft.com/content/4461...

Why the OECD Global Minimum Tax is far from dead, despite Donald Trump's attempts to Make Tax Havens Great Again on day one of his presidency fairtaxmark.net/oecd-global-...

A great summary from @fairtaxfoundation.bsky.social on global progress on country-by-country reporting for multinationals fairtaxmark.net/wp-content/u...

Donald Trump is going after the OECD global minimum tax for multinationals on day one. Europe, the UK, Japan & others must stand strong and resist this bullying. The decades long global race to the bottom had finally been curtailed. So much to play for www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
