Public Accounts Committee: Large business tax compliance

Committee hears from witnesses

The Public Accounts Committee will examine how large businesses comply with their tax obligations in the UK. This scrutiny session will investigate whether major corporations are paying the taxes they owe and whether HM Revenue & Customs is effectively enforcing tax rules against big business.

Large business tax compliance directly affects public finances and fairness in the tax system. If major companies avoid or underpay taxes, this shifts the burden to smaller businesses and individuals, reduces funding for public services, and raises questions about whether the wealthy are contributing their fair share to the Exchequer.
