Richard Branson And Tax Loopholes
EDM number 730 in 1992-93, proposed by Harry Cohen on 03/11/1992.
That this House is shocked by the revelation that Richard Branson paid no tax on his ú229 million capital gain in selling the Virgin Music Group to Thorn EMI; notes that he used tax havens in Jersey and Guernsey to avoid a United Kingdom tax bill of ú92 million; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to effectively close this tax loophole which is losing the United Kingdom over ú4 billion a year.
This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
