Bankrupt Countries Go After Corporations

These are difficult times to be a tax manager at a major multinational. Everywhere you go you are assailed for not paying enough tax. In the U.K., companies such as Ikea, Starbucks, Amazon and Apple have been under ferocious assault for not paying enough corporation tax. Starbucks faced boycotts of its stores, and actually volunteered to pay more tax. An online petition in the U.K. demanding that Amazon pay more to the government has collected almost 100,000 signatures.
