&gt; <i>&quot;No-one expects companies to pay the full whack of tax.&quot;</i><p>Why? I don&#x27;t understand why this is considered acceptable. I&#x27;m expected to pay the full whack of tax (income, VAT, etc), but somehow it&#x27;s taken as given that corporations will pay &#x27;less than they&#x27;re supposed to&#x27;. How can we fix anything if this is the prevailing attitude?
