The Guardian of tax evasion - Paul Rigby - 07-10-2009 Private Eye 1242, (7 August 2009), p7 Street of Shame: Grauning Wallets Guardian Media Group continues to tie itself in knots over tax. Quote:“The board believes it is the group’s corporate and social responsibility to pay the appropriate amount of taxes in accordance with UK and overseas tax legislation,” says the annual report. “The board also believes that it has a commercial responsibility to manage the group’s affairs in a tax-efficient manner within those rules as well as to manage the group’s exposure to tax.

God bless the SS Grauniad, says I, and all the liberal rubes who sail with her. Right on to the rocks. PS I wonder what offence the paper had caused to the spooks at Private Eye? Any ideas? |
