@fbtoast @SkyScottBeasley @Silklink Several European countries set the rules so that support for the pandemic only went to companies paying full taxes at home. Sunak was lobbied to do that here. He chose not to. So perfectly legal to pay Tax of zero on Virgin Islands but still expect furlough support here 😱🤦‍♀️
