UKuncut to target Topshop on Tax Avoidance day #4thDecember

Shops owned by Sir Philip Green, the retail billionaire and ‘efficiency adviser’ to the government, will become the target of the ‘Day of Action’ against Tax Avoidance on Saturday 4th December.
Organisers behind UKuncut told the Guardian today that shops including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge would be targets, alongside the traditional enemy Vodafone.
The Guardian points out:

The businessman banked the biggest pay cheque in corporate history in 2005 when his Arcadia fashion business, which owns Topshop, paid a £1.2bn dividend. The record-breaking payment went to his wife, Tina, who lives in Monaco and is the direct owner of Arcadia. Because of this arrangement no UK income tax was due on the gain.
Richard Murphy, director of Tax Research UK, estimated Green saved £285m by paying the dividend to his wife.

UKuncut say they have set up the ‘Big Society Revenue Service’ (BSRC) to tackle Tax Avoidance in the UK.
Hundreds of activists across the country are expected to mobilise this Saturday for the action.
More details will be announced in the run-up to the big day, on here as well as the UKuncut website and Twitter account.

Yesterday, students from the UCL occupation also staged a protest at Topshop in Oxford Street, London. Here is a video report from that event.
