Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

The International Monetary Fund recently said that developing countries lose £212 billion a year through corporate tax avoidance by multinational companies. Transparency will be absolutely crucial in dealing with that, but the Bill makes no mention of public country-by-country reporting. Will the Government look carefully at that, and at any amendments that might come forward, given that it would enable people in the developing world to see the taxes that companies pay locally for their benefit?
