WBR: Tech Firms Criticized For "Aggressive" Tax Planning 14 May 15

Thu, 14 May 15

The OECD leads a G20 strategy to make firms pay tax in countries where revenue is earned. We hear from Pascal Saint Amans, the Organisation¹ for Economic Co-operation and Development's top man on global tax affairs. We also get analysis on this complex issue from Heather Self, a tax partner with the London law firm Pinsent Mason. We also explain why the third best team in Formula One motor racing² is the top earner. Ian Philips, the former Commercial Manager of Team Lotus, tells us if he has any sympathy with the likes of Force India, who are not part of that club.
