For business’ with a turnover under £700k, the fee is paid in a single instalment (and covers both assessment and licence).
For business’ with a turnover over £700k, the fee is split 50/50 between:
So, for example, a business with a turnover of between £10.1 – 36mn would pay £500 – 1,500 for assessment and (if warranted) a further £500 – 1,500 for an annual licence to utilise the Fair Tax Mark.
There are a thousand and one issues out there that business is being asked to champion – on top of the day-to-day challenge of thriving commercially in an ever more competitive world. Approaches and acronyms abound, be it ESG or CSR or SRI or SDGs, with each urging that a business prioritise their favoured issues.
So, why should a business prioritise responsible tax conduct and tax transparency, and pursue Fair Tax Mark accreditation?
The terrible Russian invasion of Ukraine laid bare the extent of the UK’s exposure to illicit finance, prompting concerted counter efforts by parliamentarians. This week, a welcome second Economic Crime Bill edges closer to being finalised, but substantial loopholes are in danger of being left unaddressed unless amendments – backed by leading anti-corruption and tax justice groups – are accepted.
The advance of tax transparency was never going to be quick and smooth. But it is slowly but surely grinding forward, with increasing legal requirements emerging across many parts of the globe. At the Fair Tax Foundation, we believe that comprehensively implemented public Country-by-Country Reporting (pCbCR) significantly enhances the ability of stakeholders across the world to form an informed opinion as to whether a business is paying the right amount of tax, in the right place and at the right time.
