No Coronavirus bailouts for companies registered offshore for tax purposes
Those companies that currently avoid paying UK tax by registering off shore should not be allowed access to bailout funds for companies suffering from the economic effects of Coronavirus.
Companies that do not pay tax and so do not contribute to public services in the UK do not have the right to access public money that they have not contributed to. This is happening in Poland, Denmark and now France and should be a core principle to U.K’s response. Maybe in future they will reconsider hiding money.
