Deny coronavirus-related bailouts to British businesses registered in tax havens
Deny coronavirus-related bailout and stimulus funds to British business that are registered in tax havens, such as the Cayman Islands.
Business's who have registered themselves abroad to avoid paying tax in the U.K cannot expect the very same system they have avoided and exploited to support them in these circumstances. To do so would reward hypocrisy, encourage further abuse of the British tax system, and be grossly offensive to small business owners and the British taxpayer alike.
