We know. You need help understanding EVERY point.

We need to remember the magnitude of these unpaid corporation tax bills.

There are no unpaid Corporation Tax Bills.

You are confusing company's paying little or no Corporation Tax, with company's not paying their Bills.

These company's are not sending a Tax Return to HMRC showing that they owe £1 Billion and then refusing to pay.

It would seem that less successful economies of europe being lessct lots of immigrants, so I postulate that, should UK leave the EU then we will still get lots of people wanting to migrate here.

I think that a UK (or possibly England) departing the EU would lose a lot from being less able to set the terms of trade, rather as a Scotland departing the UK would be likely forced to take what they could get.

This is all supposition of course. However I see no reason why the EU would let the UKgo on sweetheart terms.

A good article in my opinion:

One would suppose that trade is a mutually beneficial business and so is in both parties best interest.

Is that a quote from Juncker? A man under investigation for his conduct and actions while a finance minister for Luxembourg?

Something tells me the EU is not motivated or in fact able to clamp down on companies creating zero profit in the UK while shifting the profit to more tax favourable countries.

Big companies are literally laughing at us here in the UK. we are handing over our money daily as they rob our country of value, all because the media refuse to report and promote these very important issues.

Ignorance of young people spending what little they have in Starbucks is sickening. They are all kept stupid and uninformed by the media who make them feel like they have no voice.

In fact the election was decided on only 900 votes!... If 900 people voted labour instead of conservative in the closest constituencies they would never had reached a majority.

Amazon, the global online retailer, is changing the way it records sales in a move that could see it paying more tax.
Transactions carried out in European markets were previously recorded in Luxembourg, with which Amazon had a low-tax agreement.
Now sales made through subsidiaries in the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy will be registered in those countries, the retailer has said.

This is fantastic news, and in really hope this results in a fair tax revenue for the UK.

It is the pressure from groups like 38Degrees etc that helps force these issues into manifestos and agendas. Amazon are doing this to protect their business, because boycotts were the next step as too many people in this country feel squeezed and victims of the fraud that is "project austerity".

If they truly are wanting to stop robbing countries I wonder if they will consider back payments?....

I will add..... it is the current top EU bloke Juncker, whose watch oversaw these suggested illegal tax deals in Luxembourg.

This tax has nothing to do with consumers, it is instead taking the cream off from the top cats.... consumers will only pay what they can and competition, if working as it should... should prevent this extra tax being added onto product prices.

if consumer behaved 'correctly', than a tax on products/companies
would
-increase the price (but less than the tax)
-reduce demand as people at the margin can't afford to buy as much (or not at all)

If of course, consumers behaved differently, then they would have boycotted Starbucks and Amazon but they didn't.

I want cheap stuff and people, other than me, to pay tax - same as any other consumer.

It's been explained already. If a company pays tax then it's the customers of that company who pay it (generally out of taxed income). The government aren't going to help explain this because they want to pretend you, an an individual, don't pay much tax.
