Petition Individuals or companies with a controlling interest in Newspapers should be tax resident in the UK
More details
Newspapers play a huge role in influencing public attitudes and government policy. A significant number of major titles are owned and/or controlled by individuals and companies that are either foreign nationals or are resident for tax purposes outside the UK.
We need a press that will accurately and objectively investigate report on the issues we face, independent of the owners’ business interests and political allegiances. At present, many of those owners exempt themselves from the consequences of the policies they promote by being domiciled for tax purposes outside the UK
