Q. Should the UK prohibit #StateAid to large businesses engaged in #TaxAvoidance?
This question comes from a comment I heard in a webinar recently.
Obviously I wondered whether if it was true, but also it’s the kind of consideration which may come to the fore if the UK Government sets up its own State aid regime.

What is tax avoidance in this instance is a fair question.
Let’s say those who submitted a DOTA or found by HMRC to have engaged in tax avoidance.

Congratulations to my home #Norway on winning a seat at the #UN Security Council. With this seat come many opportunities to influence the global agenda for a better future. But with this also comes increased scrutiny of #Norway's untenable and unsustainable dependence on Oil
As a small open economy with an existential interest in maintaining #globalisation & a "rules based international order", #Norway and it's fellow #Nordics self-interest is strongly aligned with what is good for the world. The same also goes for #Ireland @NorwayUN @irishmissionun
Excellent @GavinBarwell talk about the #Covid19 pandemic and likely implications.
#StateAid issues at heart of the recovery, whether that’s denying future support to those engaged in #taxavoidance or Government (reluctantly) taking equity stakes in major businesses.

There will be a post-pandemic belief that things cannot go back to the way things were.
#BuildaBetterFuture may well be build around a measures to tackle climate change.

Cracking answer to my #levellingup question
@GavinBarwell thinks it remains a core promise

#TaxEvasion & #TaxAvoidance are not laws of nature, but policy choices. We can choose to:
🕵️♂️ allow secrecy
💸 lightly regulated the tax avoidance industry
🌪️allow tax competition to drive a #RaceToTheBottom
Or we can choose not to allow them 👇 2/7

Thread: Amazing resource for tracking corporate #taxhaven strategies&costs. What stands out: absence of data for Africa, ME, etc. We have to talk more abt costs of #taxavoidance for low-income countries, beginning w history of shifting profits from the late colonial world 1/n
The overall amount of profits shifted/cost incurred will be bigger for countries such as US and Europe. But the recent #mauritiusleaks showed that #African countries are hurt by multinational strategies of using tax havens to route investments and book profits 2/n
In a forthcoming article in Past and Present, I show how white European settlers, businessmen, officials etc liquidated their assets during decolonization, fearful of newly independent governments and their attitude towards foreigners and their money. The choice was often 3/n

Thread. “Brexit was about tax avoidance!”, so the conspiracy theory goes. “The referendum was announced in 2013, just as the EU announced plans to tackle tax avoidance!!” “The referendum date was announced just after the EU announced the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive.” And…
“…article 50 was invoked so the UK would avoid the implementation of the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive in 2019! You Brexiteers have all been conned!” Well, let’s see who’s being conned by who. Here’s a timeline. The issue of “base erosion” (eroding your tax base) was first...
…discussed at the OECD summit in Mexico in June 2012, and again at the G20 Finance Minister summit in November of the same year. At this summit the UK and Germany agreed to combat Base Erosion and corporate tax avoidance, issuing a joint statement. Later, France also agreed…
