We revealed last month that 12 British companies in the Footsie – including Rolls-Royce, Vodafone and British American Tobacco – had paid no tax here. Since then, Royal Bank of Scotland, British advertising multinational WPP and several foreign mining companies have also admitted that they had no, or negligible, UK corporation tax bills.
RBS issued a sustainability report earlier this month showing it had no UK corporation tax bill – which it says is due to its continuing losses.
A source close to WPP said the group made about ten  per cent of its profits in Britain, but that its tax bill is ‘minimal’; because of debt interest payments.
Companies in the Footsie that do not make their money in Britain   do not have to pay tax here.
WPP – headed by Sir Martin Sorrell – borrows most of its cash in the UK to fund its worldwide operations. British companies are allowed to subtract their debt interest payments before calculating how much tax they owe on their profits.
Mining companies Antofagasta, Fresnillo, Polymetal and Randgold Resources all said they do not make any profit in the UK and therefore have no or negligible tax to pay here. Just over half the companies in the Footsie are required to reveal their UK tax bill because some of their shares are traded in the US, where accounting rules are stricter
Tesco pays more uk tax than all the above put together it stinks and these are the companies pushing to stay in the rotten eu

The Bank of England said on Tuesday that UK banks would be given an extra two years until 2022 to build up sufficient funds to ensure they do not need to rely on taxpayer bailouts if they go under.

The central bank also said it would help smaller banks and building societies by increasing the size they can become before more onerous capital rules take effect.

The Bank's statement follows a consultation it began in December 2015, which it said aimed to define one of the final pieces in the jig

saw to avoid a repeat of the 2008 taxpayer bailouts of RBS and Lloyds.

Governor Mark Carney said: "This policy is a significant milestone on the journey to end 'too big to fail' in the UK. [It] will ensure that banks that provide essential economic functions hold sufficient resources to be resolved in an orderly way, without recourse to public funds."

This is a champion ADVFN Baby Boomer thread, and you will fail as I did before you if you attempt to modernise it. Scroll up and you'll see red highlighted text in the header. After everything, after it all, that was my only victory here. It's not much, though I present it as a beacon of hope for what once was, and may one day again, be on ADVFN.

Can anyone tell me if they know of a suitable briefing board for Barclays plc.
I thought I had found it but was wrong.
I do like to see informed comment but I expected better of my fellow posters.
This site has become devalued by the nasty, spiteful and ignorant entries.

PLEASE CAN I APPEAL FOR SOME RESTRAINT. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS WISH.
