Misleading headline o' the day
Or rather sub-heading, is this from Hansard:
Unless they really crank up the VAT on TNT, I can't see it being a particularly useful means of limiting sales.
Anyway, the Q&A:
Roger Berry: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether HM Revenue and Customs has imposed any financial penalty on TNT companies for tax irregularities in the last 10 years. [261347]
TNT: Taxation
Unless they really crank up the VAT on TNT, I can't see it being a particularly useful means of limiting sales.
Anyway, the Q&A:
Roger Berry: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether HM Revenue and Customs has imposed any financial penalty on TNT companies for tax irregularities in the last 10 years. [261347]
Mr. Timms: I am unable to comment on any company’s tax affairs because of the requirement for taxpayer confidentiality.
It looks as though Berry is referring to the Dutch logistics company - which has its eye on the Royal Mail - but the wording is not that clear, is it?
