Submission Documents: by Councillor Stuart Clay:- "Council fully supports the campaign UK Uncut, for their consistent peaceful campaigning against UK companies involved in tax avoidance, especially 22 UK companies which are estimated to owe HMRC over £14.9bn in unpaid tax. Council also believes that these tax avoidance practices directly impacts on local services supplied by Glasgow City Council, and therefore also supports UK Uncut's campaign against HMRC's own involvement in writing off substantial sums in corporation tax at a time of a significant squeeze on public services. Council notes that its current mobile phone provider is Vodafone, further notes that this company has been the object of significant controversy around allegations that it has avoided between £4.8bn and £6bn in UK taxes, and resolves to investigate the possibility of refusing to renew this contract unless Vodafone can demonstrate that they pay the equivalent of the full UK corporation tax rate on all profits."
