Starbucks is offering to stop it's aggressive tax avoidance in the UK, and pay corporation tax.

The threat of boycotting, sit ins and other protests as well as harsh criticism in the press has led them to the conclusion that although they operate 1/3 of the coffee shops in the UK.

... people in the UK don't like tax cheats. That the company should 'pay it's way', and being a multi national is no excuse.

The Col: ... How are they doing it now.....It transferred some money to a Dutch sister company in royalty payments, bought coffee beans from Switzerland and paid high interest rates to borrow from other parts of the business.

It's decided not to use some of these as a method to reduce it tax liability, so far on it's royalty payments to the Dutch company.

HMRC (revenue and customs) is to get £77 million extra, which it thinks can help recoup £2 billion a year in tax lost through avoidance......

... imo, cut through the bull and give the HMRC twice that. The return would probably be in the £3.5 billion plus zone.
