Cameron warns companies to pay fair taxes
by anthony.derosaon Jan 24, 2013 at 11:13 AM
Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday that companies needed to pay their fair share of tax if they wanted to do business in Britain."I am a low-tax Conservative but I'm not a companies-should-pay-no-tax Conservative," Cameron told CEOs and investors in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "Individuals and businesses must pay their fair share."
Cameron said the Group of Eight industrialised countries should focus on countering corporate tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance.
"This is a problem for all countries not just for Britain," Cameron said.
Cameron did not mention any companies by name in the speech but British politicians have accused Starbucks and Google of manipulating transfer prices to shift profits into low tax jurisdictions. Starbucks and Google say they comply with UK tax law.
"Any businesses who think that they can carry on dodging that fair share or that they can keep on selling to the UK and setting up ever-more complex tax arrangements abroad to squeeze their tax bill right down - well, they need to wake up and smell the coffee because the public who buy from them have had enough," Cameron said.

Dutch PM says should be possible to leave the euro
DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, questioned about Greece, said on Thursday it should be possible for a country to leave the euro zone.
Rutte was asked on a World Economic Forum panel in the Swiss resort of Davos whether it was now certain that no countries would be leaving the single currency area after euro zone leaders agreed last year to further aid for Greece in return for draconian austerity measures and structural reforms.
"I believe our aim shoud be to have the whole euro zone intact," he said. "At same time, you can never predict whether some country may want to leave the euro zone. I think that should be possible." -
