Isi artikel

General Electric, Vodafone, Fortnum & Mason, Citigroup, Barclays and Boots all have something in common -each has been branded a tax dodger by activists. In Britain a group called UK Uncut made headlines last month by occupying the Fortnum & Mason store in London, during broader protests against government cuts. Under the broad banner of tax "dodging", these companies are being accused of various manoeuvres which in fact seem to be perfectly legal and often desirable. The tax-dodging claims have struck a chord with voters worried about rising taxes. One thing on which there does seem to be a consensus is that America's marginal rate of corporate income tax--at 35%, one of the world's highest--must come down. Any reform that significantly increases the tax bill for companies risks prompting them to move abroad, as governments have found to their cost.
