UK's Labour says would make Google, Starbucks pay "fair share" of tax

Reuters - UK Focus

BRIGHTON, England, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Britain's opposition Labour Party would force multinational companies such as Starbucks (Swiss: SBUX.SW - news) and Google (Xetra: A0B7FY - news) to pay "their fair share of taxes" as part of a plan to fix the country's public finances, its would-be finance minister said on Monday.

"We will force people like Starbucks, Vodafone, Amazon and Google and all the others to pay their fair share of taxes," John McDonnell said in a speech to Labour's annual conference in Brighton, in southern England. (Writing by William Schomberg; editing by Guy Faulconbridge)
