So the engineers don’t pay income tax? And google don’t pay employers NI contribs? And they don’t charge VAT on all sales and and send that to HMRC?

I’m guessing they also don’t pay vat on the electricity and gas they use?

Even their staff canteen will be paying the taxman for every warm pasty they sell…

So can we be clear that what they’ve done is pay as little Corporation Tax as possible – something EVERY company in the uk does I possible to ensure best return for shareholders and owners!
