Ban companies with offshore tax arrangements from loans/grants/ furlough schemes
Parliament should immediately pass laws preventing any company with offshore tax arrangements from being subsidised by UK taxpayers during this crisis. Plus an 'amnesty' should be granted so a company or individual can repatriate funds from a tax haven and pay a preferential tax rate on the wealth
This crisis has brought into sharp relief the egregious nature of tax havens: so-called sovereign countries that exist as pure cheat vehicles for the super-rich. On behalf of the whole world, these countries must be encouraged to shut down their banking and offshoring industries and be given assistance to diversify their economies
