The UK press seems to have a field day when it comes to multi-national corporations not paying corporation tax.<p>We will no doubt shortly have a number of MPs telling us how unacceptable this is and that Facebook need to start paying up.<p>This all irks me a little.<p>362 Facebook staff on an average salary of say £65,000 will contribute at least £7,230,696.60 in taxes and NI to  HMRC. Let&#x27;s also not pretend that £65,000 is the average salary at Facebook UK, it&#x27;s likely much higher.<p>Then we can look at those &#x27;stock&#x27; bonuses that much of the article seems to point towards. There will likely be capital gains tax paid by employees on the sales of those assets down the line.<p>The UK has seen a strong economic recovery and remains a global financial centre and the business friendly tax policies of the UK likely contribute heavily towards this.<p>If I had a choice between Facebook paying £4,327 in corporation tax but employing over 350 highly skilled individuals in the UK, or relocating to somewhere like Dublin due to aggressive taxation policies. I know what I would pick.
