Went round a big hill that one, most of it was actually used to buy ingredients at an inflated price from it's subsidiary in Switzerland lol.
But yea, claiming you didn't make any profit at all in a national venture via franchise whilst also retaining all the staff is a very lol move.
Interestingly, there was a financier thinking about whether eBay and Amazon's transaction were based in the UK as the products could ship anywhere.
I (personally) would have thought that a Google UK Office / eBay UK Office / Amazon UK Office (or .co.uk extensions) would guarantee that consumption in the UK was handled by the Office in the UK, meaning that their business occurred in the UK for legal purposes.
Sure you can buy a GoDaddytheThird.co.uk website and be like "Dude, I'm totally in the US" but if UK sales redirect to a .co.uk website the sale is already segregated.

The investigators are being paid and have work. The Tax office workers are being paid and have work. Starbucks clearly had work.
Starbucks are being the scapegoat because, unlike cash in hand remedials anywhere in the country, they record all the work they've done - then clean the money away. Cash-in-hand repair work doesn't appear anywhere to be taxed. Likewise people expect civil servants to exist, hence/coincidentally there is always a scandal they are justifiably working on.
The UK is actually great. |

Below all of this is the underlying process.
There are rules, the rules are accessible with the right level of effort.
Once you know all the rules, juxtapose.
As for the ignorance? I'm still 100% certain that all the loopholes, in all of the finances, in all the companies in the world, are not someone pulling a fast one, it must have been lots of people pulling a somewhat slow one, and now its undesirable.
