  7. The tax office diligently hounded me for years for pocket change I didn't owe. #bbcpanorama
  8. #bbcpanorama so let me get this right v owe 6bn tax but gov only chase 2, they get 1.5 and yet they over tax me and refuse to justify why!
  9. Half of FTSE 100 companies have subsidiaries in Luxembourg. It doesn't take a genius to work out why #bbcpanorama

  14. To say that corporations avoiding tax increases the bill for everyone else is utter shite...politicians would still spend it #bbcpanorama
