Responsible tax behaviour
The Fair Tax Mark Global Multinational Business Standard accreditation is awarded to companies that:
- pay the right amount of tax (but no more) in the right place at the right time, according to both the letter and the spirit of the law;
- readily provide sufficient public information to enable its stakeholders to form a rounded and informed view of its beneficial ownership, tax conduct and financial presence (across the world if they are a multinational);
- say what they pay with pride.
