Good to see this announcement from Labour. We need to keep up the pressure on companies that avoid paying tax. But we also need to fix the system to make this harder to do.https://twitter.com/FairTaxMark/status/1044192410480332800 …

Fix the system sounds better than possible Govt to urge use of a private co. to be a public arbiter of such matters? Especially when we have seen it seem content to allow PAYE avoidance (loans to a Director) in a company with a FTM.

iain campbell added,
To be fair, we don't know if it was PAYE avoidance; but the @FairTaxMark said nothing beyond "trust us, it's fine".
FTM isn't at all transparent on how they award or how they set criteria
Subjective criteria assessed by an unknown person with no avenue for appeal as far as I can see. Would Starbucks or anyone on ECRA's boycott list get a fair hearing? Would right-on orgs get waved through? OK for a private thing but can't be compulsory.
Starbucks (and any other foreign company) is not eligible to apply for the fairtaxmark, as the standard only relates to UK based multinationals
