No tax avoidance for Newspaper owners
Currently, the owners of our newspapers use aggressive tax avoidance schemes. Newspapers already have 0% VAT rate. This is an extremely serious conflict of interest as newspapers will avoid reporting tax avoidance by large multinationals and extremely wealthy individuals, including themselves.
In particular, owners should not be entitled to non domiciled resident status. All shareholders of newspapers should be expected to pay tax with no avoidance whatsoever.
The British press is already least trusted in the EU: https://www.pressgazette.co.uk/survey-finds-that-uk-written-press-is-by-some-way-the-least-trusted-in-europe/
If this petition becomes law, this will go a long way into remedying that.
