Bar companies using tax havens from benefiting from Government Covid-19 support.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure that any company registered in a tax haven is not able to claim any Government financial or other support meant to help individuals and businesses affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Govt has a package of support to help those negatively affected by the pandemic. It will have a significant impact on the public purse and be a liability for generations to come. Indeed the generation that is already badly affected by lack of opportunities. Tax Haven users benefit from massive profits and dividends from their companies in the good times, utilising legitimate schemes to avoid paying the tax we now need. It will help redress the balance and show we are 'all in it together'.
