Call to curb tax evasion
THE Government should do more to prevent multi-national companies from dodging their tax bills, according to Bradford Council.
The authority called on the government to increase its efforts to combat the problem, saying tax avoidance was costing the country up to £12 billion a year and that public services were losing out as a result.
The motion was put forward by Labour councillor Michelle Swallow (Clayton and Fairweather Green).
