Rejected petition Stop Starbucks Tax Avoidance

More details

How can Starbucks tell Companies House and HMRC that its UK business is loss-making but tell analysts in SEC-regulated calls that the UK business is profit-making, without either making misleading financial statements or filing false accounts?

How is it possible that Starbucks paid only £8.3m on sales of over £3bn since 1998?

This culture of tax evasion sets a bad example and if the problem isn't addressed now, HMRC will lose even more revenue in the future.
