Monday 20 May 2013 - Tax & Reputation Conference
What are the reputational consequences of perceived corporate tax avoidance?
The Public Accounts Committee's grilling of Starbucks, Google and Amazon has struck a chord with the general public. Many now view multinationals as aggressive tax avoiders, and believe that corporation tax is essentially voluntary. Starbucks' offer to pay more has only reinforced that view.
This joint conference will address several issues arising. From the government's perspective, is naming and shaming an appropriate policy? Or should it focus on closing loopholes, or more fundamental tax reform? From a corporate perspective, how harmful is negative publicity about taxes? How should companies and professional firms engage with the debate? And from an activist's perspective, if the aim is to generate higher tax revenues, are attacks on multinationals the best approach?
