Starbucks executives are furious after an incautious purchase of a plastic bag resulted in the multinational making its first ever contribution to the UK Exchequer.
“5p doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a matter of principle” said Starbucks UK head Mark Fox.
“The plastic bag could have easily been imported from the Virgin Islands via the Netherlands without incurring any tax.”
“It makes you wonder why we even bother employing 200 in-house tax accountants at all” said Mr Fox.
Starbucks has attracted controversy with its long history of not paying UK corporation tax using a complicated scheme called ‘making shit coffee’.
