You can't apply morality to a business though
the sole purpose of the chief executive of a company is to maximise the return for it's shareholders, therefore they are legally obligated to pay as little tax as they can to increase the profit margin.

But, with that in mind, it would be far better to simplify the tax system to prevent these loopholes existing and to ensure that companies making large profits pay the appropriate taxes on those profits.

But you can't actually blame the businesses for not paying the tax.

Having said all that, I really hope Phillip Green gets terminal lung cancer and his wife gets terminal cancer of the cunt. Thieving bastards.

I'm a big believer in equality, and that just doesn't work in business.
