Stop financial assistance to companies who do not pay their UK tax liabilities.
UK companies who use tax avoidance schemes not to pay their share of UK tax by registering in tax havens should not benefit from assistance from the government due to losses from the Covid-19 pandemic. Denmark has already said they will not support such companies.... The UK should follow suit.
It's taxpayers money. Why should companies who get rich in the UK avoid paying their taxes by channelling money to overseas tax havens and then have the audacity to ask for financial taxpayer assistance from the UK when times get bad. No taxes paid, No assistance.
