It was reported by the Sunday Times over the weekend that
Vodafone have avoided paying any corporation tax in the UK for 2011. Despite
having a massive presence in the UK with a large customer base, they avoided
paying tax by using off shore companies mainly in Luxemburg. Vodafone only made
profits of 402M up 16% on the previous year and in 2010 its tax bill was 140 M
In 2011 Vodafone Tax bill -
Nil, zero, nothing.
Those profits came from individuals and companies, most if
not all, will pay UK taxes. I think it’s time Vodafone customers in the UK send
this company a message by signing off and joining a network that does
contribute in the UK and pays UK Tax.
