Corbyn vows to tackle corporate ‘cheats’

JEREMY CORBYN is vowing to tackle the “tax and wage cheat culture” of multinational companies who “rip off” workers and the public purse with measures to force them to pay their fair share.

Stood outside an Amazon depot in Yorkshire today, the Labour leader will deliver a speech detailing his “fair tax programme” to clamp down on tax dodging.

Labour expects the series of measures would raise £6.3bn for the Exchequer in 2024 to help pay for its manifesto plans to nationalise key utilities in a “green industrial revolution”.

Mr Corbyn and Shadow Employment Rights Secretary Laura

Pidcock are to set out plans to clamp down on the enablers of tax dodging, increase HMRC targeted audits and establish an inquiry into the finance sector.

If Labour wins the election, it would introduce a 20 per cent offshore company property levy, require greater scrutiny of MPs’ tax affairs and scrap non-dom status which gives tax advantages.
