For many years, successive governments have been trying to counter corporate tax avoidance by unscrupulous companies that move their profits offshore.

Despite government attempts, the biggest avoiders continue to avoid.

The government has recently announced measures to prop up businesses that will be most affected by COVID19, but should companies that pay no tax in the UK get propped up?

It is vital that the employees of those companies are protected, but not the companies themselves.
